A nursing student and medical assistant with hyperhidrosis needs scrub pants that are lightweight, do not show sweat, and prevent moisture transfer to seats, plus a lightweight jacket that provides coverage without overheating.

Current scrub pants and tops do not manage moisture, are not sweat-wicking or sweat-hiding, causing embarrassment and discomfort. Lightweight jackets with pockets for sweaty individuals are also not available.
