Patent 11889877 was granted and assigned to Nike, Inc. on February, 2024 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Aspects herein are directed to garments with adaptive ventilation. The garment has one or more flaps that open and close in response to the presence or absence of an external stimulus such as, for example, moisture. The one or more flaps remain closed in the absence of the external stimulus and open in the presence of the external stimulus thereby increasing or decreasing ventilation between an interior cavity of the garment and an external environment.
