Problems solved by technology

This is because once cotton-based materials become saturated with sweat they can become heavy, stiff and bulky.
Moreover, the wearing of saturated cotton-based sports apparel for long periods of time can lead to discomfort, chaffing and even the breaking of skin.
The direct result is decreased performance and potential injury to the wearer during a sweat inducing activity.
Despite advances in next generation fabrics for use in sports and outdoor apparel to wick away sweat from the body, there have been very few advances in the technology relating to manufacture of sweatbands.
This not only renders them useless (as no additional sweat can be absorbed), b...

Embodiment Construction

[0023]The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.

[0024]The underlying invention (described in greater detail below) is directed to multi-layer sweatband 100 that is light-weight, sturdy and highly adjustable. One or more of these sweatbands 100 can be placed along the arms of the wearer 300 to maintain an effective and dry hand grip on an instrument and / or positioned along the legs or ankles to ensure dry and stable footing. In addition, this multi-layer sweatband 100 eliminates build up of accumulated s...

Abstract

The invention relates to a sweatband comprising a wicking sheath, preferably made of Nylon and Lycra®, having a first end, a second end, a first wicking layer and a second wicking layer—as well as an interior absorbent layer comprised in part of bamboo cloth or merino wool maintained within the wicking sheath. Attached to both the first and second end of the wicking sheath is a fastening means, which can be a hook-and-loop fastener. The sweatband may include ornamentation or can maintain a digital music player. The invention is also directed toward a method to prevent accumulation of sweat through placing a first sweatband on the wrist, a second proximate to the elbow and a third on the upper bicep, and securing each sweatband through connecting the male panel to the female panel. The method can include placing finger bands proximate to the knuckles.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 228,776, filed on Jul. 27, 2009, entitled “Perforated Hook-and-Loop Fastener for Sports Apparel,” the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002]The present invention is directed to a sweatband comprised of a wicking sheath having a first wicking layer and a second wicking layer, as well as an absorbent layer made in part of bamboo cloth (or similar natural fiber) placed between the first and second wicking layers of the wicking sheath. The invention further relates to a method of placing multiple sweatbands throughout the arms and legs to reduce accumulation of sweat during any sweat inducing activity.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003]The underlying technology used in the manufacture of sports apparel has greatly improved over the past few years. Traditionally, the design of sports and outdoor apparel has focused o...
