Perspiration absorbing garment

Abstract

In an embodiment, a perspiration-absorbing garment may comprise perspiration-absorbing material having an increased thickness at one or more edges so that, when worn on an individual's head, perspiration may be channeled away from the individual's eyebrows towards one or more side portions of the individual's forehead.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A perspiration-absorbing garment, comprising:
 a perspiration-absorbing material having an increased thickness at one or more edges so that, when worn on an individual's head, perspiration is channeled away from the individual's eyebrows towards one or more side portions of the individual's forehead.   
     
     
         2 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 1 , wherein the increased thickness at the one or more edges is provided at a lower edge of the perspiration-absorbing material which, when worn on the individual's head, is disposed proximate to one or more of the individual's eyebrows. 
     
     
         3 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more elastic portions. 
     
     
         4 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 3 , wherein a first elastic portion of the one or more elastic portions includes a fastener to fasten the first elastic portion to a second elastic portion of the one or more elastic portions. 
     
     
         5 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 4 , wherein the fastener comprises a clip, clasp, catch, press-stud, button/buttonhole combination, or any combination thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 1 , wherein a middle portion width is greater that a width of a left and/or right side portion of the perspiration-absorbing garment. 
     
     
         7 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 1 , wherein the perspiration-absorbing material comprises natural or artificial chamois. 
     
     
         8 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 1 , wherein the perspiration-absorbing material comprises a material having a thread count of between 500 and 2000. 
     
     
         9 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 1 , further comprising a looping or wrapping stitch at the one or more edges. 
     
     
         10 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 9 , wherein individual stitches of the looping or wrapping stitch are separated by approximately 1.0 to 3.0 millimeters. 
     
     
         11 . A perspiration-absorbing garment, comprising:
 two or more layers of perspiration-absorbing material to form at least a portion of an approximately elliptical band, the two or more layers of perspiration-absorbing material joined by a stitching along at least two edges of the approximately elliptical band, the at least two edges being separated by a larger distance at a first portion of the approximately elliptical band than at a second portion of the approximately elliptical band.   
     
     
         12 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 11 , wherein the approximately elliptical band additionally comprises an elastic material. 
     
     
         13 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 11 , wherein at least one of the two or more layers comprises a natural or synthetic chamois material. 
     
     
         14 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 11 , wherein the stitching along the at least two edges of the approximately elliptical band forms an increased thickness along the at least two edges in relation to an inner portion of the perspiration-absorbing garment. 
     
     
         15 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 14 , wherein the stitching along the at least two edges of the approximately elliptical band wrap from an inner surface of the perspiration-absorbing garment to an outer surface of the perspiration-absorbing garment. 
     
     
         16 . The perspiration-absorbing garment of  claim 11 , wherein at least a portion of the stitching along one or more of the at least two edges comprises individual stitches separated by approximately 1.0 to 3.0 millimeters. 
     
     
         17 . A garment, comprising:
 one or more layers of natural or synthetic chamois material stitched to one another;   an elastic material, the elastic material and the one or more layers of natural or synthetic chamois material joined to form an approximately elliptical band, the natural or synthetic chamois material stitched to one another to:
 channel perspiration from a center region of an individual's forehead to towards one or more side portions of the individual's forehead. 
   
     
     
         18 . The garment of  claim 17 , wherein the one or more layers of natural or synthetic chamois material stitched to one another comprise a greater width at a first portion of the approximately elliptical band than at a second portion of the approximately elliptical band. 
     
     
         19 . The garment of  claim 17 , wherein the elastic material comprises at least one fastener to fasten a first portion of the elastic material to a second portion of the elastic material. 
     
     
         20 . The garment of  claim 17 , further comprising a monitoring chip to transmit one or more heart monitoring parameters.
