A garment, especially to a sports garment, including a textile substrate which covers a part of the body of the wearer of the garment, wherein at least a section of the textile substrate is coated with at least two different Phase Change Materials, wherein a first Phase Change Material is arranged which has a phase transition temperature between 27&#xb0; C. and 29&#xb0; C., wherein a second Phase Change Material is arranged which has a phase transition temperature between 35&#xb0; C. and 37&#xb0; C., wherein both of the Phase Change Materials are in thermal contact with at least one thermochromic dye. By doing so, an improved thermal regulation during sporting activities is obtained which can be controlled visually.

Garment, especially sports garment

A system for carrying out a training or a competition of or between two athletes, wherein the system comprises: a first sports garment comprising a first signal element and a connection to a first mobile phone, wherein first control and/or calculating means are arranged for measuring of an actual distance covered by the first athlete; a second sports garment comprising a second signal element and a connection to a second mobile phone, wherein second control and/or calculating means are arranged for measuring of an actual distance covered by the second athlete, wherein first control means are provided for emitting a predetermined first signal by the first signal element in the case that the actual distance of the first athlete is bigger than the actual distance of the second athlete and wherein second control means are provided at or in the second sports garment for emitting a predetermined second signal by the second signal element in the case that the actual distance of the first athlete is bigger than the actual distance of the second athlete. So, a competition between two athletes can be carried out with an easy observation of the actual performance of the athletes.

System for carrying out a training or a competition of or between two athletes

A sports garment having a section covering the upper part of the body of a wearer during intended use of the garment, wherein a climate zone is arranged in the region covering each axillary area of the wearer during intended use. To improve the cooling of the axillary area efficiently, the climate zone has a plurality of fins which are arranged parallel to another and which are contacting the skin of the wearer during intended use of the garment, wherein the fins are extending along a defined height over a base material of the garment, wherein the fins are arranged in such a manner that the envelope of all fins has a kite-shape or rhomb-shape seen in the direction perpendicular onto the base material of the garment.

Sports garment

A method and a device for signalizing a walking or running speed to a runner or walker during walking or running, wherein the runner or walker wears a garment. To conveniently inform the walker or runner about his or her actual walking or running speed, the method includes: a) Determining the actual speed by a speedometer which is worn or carried by the runner or walker; b) Transferring of the actual speed into a light signal, wherein the light signal corresponds to the speed; c) Displaying the light signal by a light emitting element which is attached to the or integrated into the garment.

Method and device for signalizing a walking or running speed to a runner or walker

A method and device for guiding a runner along a predetermined running path including the steps: a) Determining the actual position of the runner by a GPS module; b) Assigning the actual position of the runner to a position along the predetermined path; c) Determining if the runner has to continue the predetermined path c1) straight ahead, or c2) by turning to the left or c3) by turning to the right; d) Controlling at least two light emitting elements arranged at or in a garment worn by the runner, wherein at least one left light emitting element is located in a left hand region of the garment and at least one right light emitting element is located in a right hand region of the garment, wherein d1) no activation of the light emitting elements is carried out in above case c1), d2) at least one left light emitting element is activated in above case c2), and d3) at least one right light emitting element is activated in above case c3).

Method and device for guiding a runner or walker along a predetermined running or walking path

A garment, especially a sports garment, having a section which at least partially covers the body of a wearer, wherein the section has at least one venting element for allowing an air flow to flow from the outside of the garment through the section into the inner of the garment for cooling a part of the body of the wearer. To improve the cooling during the movement of the wearer of the garment an actuating mechanism is arranged for opening and closing the venting element in dependence of the movement of a part of the body of the wearer during the use of the garment.
