AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

A common issue, for both women and men, is that long hair may impede physical maneuvers during certain activities, such as sports.

However, this later of material may be unsecured, unstable, slippery and may use inappropriate materials, such that it does not dissipate sweat and heat efficiently.

However, if the hooded garment is not anatomically shaped, there may be some loose garment material impeding the maneuvers of the wearer and the stability of the garment, for instance under helmets.

In addition, the neck portion of existing hooded garments may become loose due to sweat and / or sudden movements for example or might not be appropriate for certain activities.
