Abstract: An article of clothing is disclosed which is made from two outer layers of a knit fabric material and an intermediate layer of flexible windbreak material between the two knit layers. The windbreak material is a woven material which effectively blocks the flow of air and at least some of the threads from which it is woven are threads having an elastic core and staple fibers covering the core, such as spandex. Various articles of apparel may be manufactured from the fabric material, including gloves, hats, socks, suits, and scarves. Also disclosed is a headband that has fasteners for removably attaching to a hat and a narrow portion at the forehead and a wider portion at the ears and back of neck so as to cover the adjacent portions of a wearer's body.

Abstract: Propagation of detonation between pallets of munition such as artillery sls is prevented by interposing an inert material having adequate density to render the fragments from a detonating pallet non-lethal when they reach explosive devices in a neighboring pallet. The material must be of a type which does not itself form lethal fragments and the material must be placed sufficiently close to the explosive devices that the fragments from an explosive have not had time to separate into individual pieces but, instead, produce a plate impact on the material. This latter requirement reduces or eliminates the need for any substantial strength in the material.

Abstract: A packaging system is disclosed for containing a plurality of discrete exsive masses in close juxtaposition but isolated from each other so as to prevent detonation of one such mass from propagating a chain of further detonations of the remaining such masses.
