Abstract: Protective clothing and/or equipment may comprise a modular helmet assembly which comprises a plurality of impact mitigation modules positioned between an outer layer and an interior layer of the helmet, optionally with a plurality of perforations or openings in an outer shell of the helmet. The plurality of impact mitigation assemblies may comprise an impact absorbing array of impact mitigation structures having at least one filament and a lateral support wall or connecting element. When force is applied to the exterior surface, the structures of the impact absorbing materials deform in a desired and controlled manner, reducing the force received by the interior layer.

Abstract: A fighting glove includes a first padding section and a second padding section disposed in a dorsal side of a user's hand, and a strapping section configured to secure the glove to the user's hand. The first padding section includes multiple impact absorption layers, multiple slip layers, and a contour layer, which are each partially bonded to each other. In particular, the hand regions of the layers are securely attached to each other, and the hand body regions of the layers are not attached to each other such that the hand body regions of the layers are free to move independently from each other. Further, the fighting glove includes an exterior layer formed by a single fabric material in each of the inner side and the outer side of the exterior layer to mitigate the glove from forming protrusions or rough features on the exterior layer of the glove.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system and/or an apparatus for an improved helmet system that may help reduce the severity of injuries by enhancing overall helmet protection through uniquely designed facemasks and facemask bumpers. The facemask and facemask bumpers that are particularly adapted to redistribute pressure and impact forces, decrease vibration, sudden shock, noise and/or the peak forces transmitted from the facemask to the rest of the helmet system. The facemask bumpers may be disposed into specific regions of the facemask, including the brow region, the glabella region, orbit region, the frontal region, the mandible (front, right and/or left side) region, the maxilla region, the nasal region, zygomatic region, the ethmoid region, the lacrimal region, the sphenoid region and/or any combination thereof.

Abstract: The improved chincup relates systems and methods for a chincup comprising additional comfort relief during use. The chincup may comprise a first and second padding layer, which the first padding layer is positioned at, above or below the alveolar line of the mandible to further protect the chin from abrasions or other injuries during use. Furthermore, the first padding layer may comprise an elastic material to allow the first padding layer to decompress or deform from an uncompressed, original position prior to impact, to a compressed position after impact, and returning to its uncompressed state after the impact is removed.
