Benefits of technology

[0037]From reading the present disclosure, other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. Such variations and modifications may involve equivalent and other features which are already known in the art, and which may be used instead of or in addition to features already described herein.

Problems solved by technology

It is believed that when performing particular exercises where an individual is holding a heavy object or where a portion of the individual's body is in contact with a surface, the individual may be challenged by slippage between his body and the object or the surface.
In view of the foregoing, it is clear that these traditional techniques are not perfect and leave room for more optimal approaches.

Abstract

A garment configured to aid in frictional support for a user during an exercise to reduce slipping and sliding between the garment and an object. The garment includes gripping areas located on a front or back of the garment. Gripping areas of various different shapes and sizes may be located in a multiplicity of suitable areas of the garment. Gripping areas may be applied to an outer and/or inner surface of the fabric of the garment. Gripping areas may be made of a grip material that exerts a greater frictional force on the object in contact with the gripping areas. Gripping areas may include multiple gripping members of various different shapes and patterns. These various gripping patterns and shapes enable the gripping areas to provide an aesthetically pleasing and functional garment, at the same time, maintain the breathability of the fabric from which the garment is made.
