Yukata has a feature of cooling down the person who wears it.
 Lined(has an extra layer inside) clothing can trap the air inside to keep the warmth, but Yukata is unlined. Also, it is  usually made of cotton to let the fresh air come in, and warm air(created by body heat) go out through the fabric as well.

The shoes are made out of a hard material which protect the person from bigger stones or other things what are dangorise. The shoe laces are mostly very tight and is a little harder to get out of. The shoe is also surrounded with some hard plastic which makes protects the human from getting ignored The shoe is mostly higher so if you go on a stone so you don't twist your ankle or get insured somehow in that area. It helps survive because if you are on a high mountain and you get ignored it is hard to save them in a middle of a forest with a car or a helicopter. It is also good for survival because if you are on an edge of a cliff it needs to be that you have grip under your shoes to not slip up with the shoe has.

- Inner insolation
Prevent your feet to get cold which can lead to hypothermia which can lead to low body temperature which can lead to death.
- Waterproof
If water soaks into your shoe it can then freeze because of the cold weather and that can cause hypothermia which can lead to death.

- Sole traction
Sole traction help you to not get any ankle injuries and prevent slipping. It can also help you to be able to walk longer

- Dark color
The dark colors can attract more sun which can make your feet warm when there is sun.

It is not designed to keep your feet dry but its to prevent your feet from getting cut and not slippery on the boat or on the surf board]]> 2018-04-23 13:10:45 UTC https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254368672 Ski Pants - Sarp. T https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254369124 Ski pants are designed to keep warm in cold and should be waterproof, because when you are in the cold and the snow turns into water when the water gets into your pants the water condenses which makes the cold weather even colder which can cause hypothermia which can cause death. 
Ski pants also have couple of layers so that they don"t attract cold. The cold can also cause hypothermia which can also 🤬 
you.
The pants of the ski pants have tiny little holes in designated places so that the ski pants don't make you and your legs sweat after skiing (only for skiing).
There are measurements and the quality of the waterproof for example, there is a rating, 30 millimeters to 25,000 millimeters. 
There are always zippers so that you can cool down. The way they block the cold is that they have this specially designed fabric called Gore-Tex which is used on shoes and pants, just everything. Keeping dry is a part of keeping warm because when you take a shower and go outside you get sick. This is the same thing.

It also helps to reduce the soreness in your hands when surfing for several hours. When wake boarding for a long time without gloves, the pull of the cable/boat can cause a lot of pain in the hands and can cause blisters on your palms. With the gloves these problems get reduced and you can wakeboard for much  longer. But in some cases these gloves can also be used in kite surfing, they are not as needed but they also provide good protection from when you crash and you protect yourself while landing into the water because on the ocean floor there could be shells and sharp stones that could cut your hand in shallow water. The problem of too much pull when kite surfing is not a big problem as the kite does not have as much pull as a cable/boat.

The portable stuff sack rain coat is a different function than normal rain jackets, it is a normal blue thin jack that has a zipper from above the chest to the neck, it has a very big pocket on the bottom of the jacket, and when you don't wan the jacket anymore you can fold it in that pocket so you aren't wasting much space. This type of jacket doesn't take up much space in a luggage, so it is very handy.

Materials - thermal shirts are usually made with materials that are able to retain body heat. The texture of the material is usually box weave, making it more breathable. It is also usually made of cotton, or a mixture of cotton and polyester.

Long Sleeves - usually, thermal shirts have long sleeves on them in order to keep one warm. 

Function: The purpose of thermal shirts is for insulation (insulation is how something stays warm or cold and how it is able to do so).  They are used to keep someone warm in the winter, and are usually worn underneath a normal shirt as an extra layer. To be able to survive in an extremely cold climate, you have to layer up to keep warm, and if you wear a thermal shirt under a normal shirt, it is considered layering meaning that you can stay warm. ]]> 2018-04-23 13:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254373930 Venture heat epic two Gloves https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254374221 Gloves are designed in order to keep your hands warm and protected from cold things.

It also makes the shoe really warm when it's cold and cold when it's warm. ]]> 2018-04-23 13:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254375286 Portable suff sack rain coat https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254376407 this is a picture of the jacket, it doesn't fully look like how it actually is.]]> 2018-04-23 13:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254376407 Canada goose https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254380016

The jacket also has technology to keep the temperature in it not too warm but not too cold either, it has wind & rain bounce off but steam (sweat) goes right through. It Also has a nice and soft layer that is touching the skin. This type of jacket (like most other jackets) does not heat you up, it uses your own body heat (kind of like a greenhouse) to warm you up.]]> 2018-04-23 13:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254381734 Swimsuits https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254383485 Material: The material is the most important part of the whole swimsuit. Swimsuits are usually made out of 100% Nylon or blending with Lycra and spandex (stretchy material). | Nylon is lightweight but it still remains one of the strongest manufactured fibers and has a nice and smooth fit. Nylon absorbs little water and dries very quickly. Because it is stretchy it sits on the body tight but still able to stretch in different positions. This prevents you from drowning because its light and doesn't absorb water and in a dangerous situation you are able to move fast without interoption.

Shape/Design: There are many designs of swimsuits for both men and woman. Here are a few of the models:For woman One piece- Covers like a bodysuit Bikini- Cover the pucbic areas Burkini- Covers the whole body accept the face similar to a wet suit.For men Swim briefs Board shorts Trunks
They reduce friction and drag in the water, increasing the efficiency of the swimmer's forward motion. The super tight fit allows for an easy movement and is sappused to reduce muscle vibration and reduce the drag. This also reduces the possibility that a high forwards dive will remove a divers swimwear.  ]]> 2018-04-23 13:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254383485 Ski Helmet - Cameron https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254383828 Features
  • Air vents
  • On the top of ski helmets, there are small vents (holes in the top) that make sure your head doesn’t overheat. These are only meant to be used when the temperature is too warm for your head - instead of choosing the dangerous option and not using a helmet, you can take the plugs out of the holes (there are styrofoam plugs that keep the vents closed) and allow air to flow into the helmet.
  • Helmet strap
  • The helmet strap appears on most types of sport-helmets. It’s meant for the sole purpose of keeping the helmet on the organisms head. It has a clip to connect both sides of the strap, and there is a slidey-thing that helps you tighten and loosen the strap.
  • Ear pads
  • Some helmets have this and some don’t. These pads are on the sides of your head, but they aren’t directly connected to the helmet (they’re detachable). They are usually stuffed with cotton, and there is mesh around them. These are meant to protect your ears from wind/cold while skiing, because your ears are often the coldest parts of your head while on the slopes. These are detachable because when it gets too warm outside, you might not need them. 
  • Goggles clip
  • The goggles clip is located in the back of the helmet. It’s on the outside, and it’s there to help the ski goggles (another piece of clothing) stay on the helmet. It had a snap-button on the end, to you put the goggle strap in-between the helmet and the clip, and then you snap the button on to the helmet.


Function
  • Air vents
  • The air vents help the organism to survive by allowing air flow around the user’s head. The body needs to be at a balanced temperature while skiing because when you get too hot, your energy depletes, and you become tired (I know from experience). Your head can also start to feel uncomfortable if you wear the helmet too long, so allowing a bit of cooling down is necessary.

  • Helmet strap
  • The helmet strap helps the organism to survive by keeping the helmet on your head. The helmet is the most protecting thing you can wear while skiing. If you fall, your head is very likely to hit the ground, and who knows what would happen without some protection on your head. It also keeps your head from freezing, because all the wind blowing against you and the cold air can make you very very cold. So it protects the organism from injury and extreme temperatures.

  • Ear pads
  • The ear pads help the organism to survive by protecting the ears from the cold. Ears can get very cold, very fast, and without something covering them than they get exposed to all the wind and cold. Ears are easily frost-bitten and they don’t have enough blood going through them to keep them warm (same reason for your fingers and toes).

  • Goggles clip
  • The goggles clip helps the organism to survive by keeping the goggles on the helmet. The goggles are another very important part for survival, because they protect your eyes and the skin around your eyes from cold, and debris in the air. They protect them from wind, and snow that could be falling from the sky. It really sucks to have snow going into your eyes while skiing, along with wind blowing on your face. So the clip itself doesn’t help the survival, but it does assist a part that does help.

Actually they are not so thick and not worked to provide significant warmth, they are meant to protect your feet from pressure and rubbing inside the boots (fraction). Their design also works to give the energy needed to make quick turns.
・It is thin to be breathable to let the sweat go out because in the video, it said that sweat can be dreadful because when it can get frozen while getting dried.
・It has to be the correct size for the person’s feet to support the right area of your feet when they get pressured by turning or stopping. If your feet get pressured, it can lead to some injuries.For examples: skin problems, fractures, twisting your ankles.
・They provide some cushioning around the bones to avoid the direct pressure and provides some comfort while skiing/snowboarding.

Schenck https://padlet.com/carrierj/t7kp367r41sk/wish/254386566 A jacket is used for many different occasions and weather conditions. There are also many different types of jackets that can be used. There are windbreakers, thick coats, thin coats, body warmers, rain jackets, normal jackets, trench coats and many others. Thick coats, Rain Jackets, Windbreakers and Jackets are mostly used at very bad weather conditions. Rain Jackets are used when it rains. Thick coats and Jackets are used when it is very cold. Windbreakers are used when it is very windy. Body warmers are mostly used when it is not that cold but not warm enough to walk around with no jacket. Trench coats are mostly used for medium cold to medium warm weather because they are only for the look. 

Body warmers are used to warm up the upper body. They have no protection for the arms they only warm up the upper body. They have a 2 - 3 cm thick material which warms up the body. They can help someone survive in some parts of Saudi Arabia because at night it gets pretty cold but during the day it is very warm so the body warmer can help at night. There is a zipper on the body warmer which has to be wind proof because otherwise the wind comes into the body warmer and then you get cold. The body warmer also has a hoodie so that it can protect a part of the head. 

Rain jackets are used to protect each person from the rain. The jackets protect the whole upper body. The material is usually very thin because it is just a very thin 5-10 mm nylon material. The rain jacket can really help in some parts of the world because it rains a lot . The rain jacket does not really protect from the cold and the warmth. It just protects from the rain. All parts of the rain jacket is rainproof.

Windbreakers are used to protect each person from very strong and cold wind. The wind can be very cold and cool down each person. The material is usually also very thin. The material is sometimes though also a bit thicker because it has to be warm and protect against the wind. The windbreaker can really help in parts of the world where ist is very windy. All parts of the windbreakers are windproof. 

Thick coats are used to protect each person from very cold weather conditions which we can mostly find in cold parts of the world. The material that is usually used it very thick and made out of wool because wool is very warm. The thick coat can protect against wind but mostly protects against the cold. All parts of the thick coat is very warm and protective.

Thin coats are not really used against any weather conditions. The thin coats are usually used for medium warm to medium cold weather conditions just to warm up the person a bit. The thin coats are used in places where the climate is at around 15 degrees celsius. 

Normal Jackets have the same use as a thin coat but they are a bit different. The normal jackets are a bit thicker than thin coats. They can be used at different occasions but mostly for a climate of 10-18 degrees celsius. 

Trench coats are also not really used for specific weather conditions. They are a bit for the look of a person and for special occasions. The trench coats can be used in all parts of the world but are not that great for very cold weather conditions. The material is a bit of nylon and wool.

Are made of a thin layer of fabric.
Good running socks provide sufficient padding at all around the foot. These these points, also known as impact zones, receive the most beating during running, they need the most cushioning as well.
