In one exemplary embodiment, the sensor garment includes a textile portion, a device-retention element coupled to the textile portion, and a stretchable harness coupled to the textile portion. The harness includes a conductive element disposed between layers of film. The conductive element includes a first termination point at the device retention element, configured to connect to a monitor device. The conductive element includes a second termination point configured to connect to a sensor or transceiver. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A garment, comprising: a textile layer; a sensor coupled to the textile layer; a monitor device coupled to the sensor; and a retention element coupled to the textile layer and configured to retain the monitor device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The garment of claim 1, wherein the retention element is formed integrally with the textile layer. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The garment of claim 1, wherein the garment comprises a shirt, and the retention element is positioned on the shirt to correspond to an upper back of a wearer. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The garment of claim 1, wherein the retention element comprises a pocket comprising an opening to receive the monitor device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The garment of claim 1, wherein the retention element is located on an exterior surface of the textile layer. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The garment of claim 1, wherein the retention element is located on an interior surface of the textile layer. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The garment of claim 1, wherein the textile layer comprises multiple layers, and the retention element is located between the multiple layers of the textile layer. ### Claim 8 A garment, comprising: a textile layer; a sensor coupled to the textile layer; a monitor device coupled to the sensor; and a retention element coupled to the textile layer and configured to retain the monitor device, wherein the retention element comprises a spacer element located between the monitor device and a wearer of the garment. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The garment of claim 8, wherein the spacer element is configured to dampen movement of the monitor device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The garment of claim 8, wherein the retention element comprises a pocket, and the spacer element is located within the pocket. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The garment of claim 8, wherein the spacer element is coupled to the textile layer on at least one surface of the spacer element. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The garment of claim 8, wherein the spacer element comprises a three-dimensional mesh. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The garment of claim 8, wherein the spacer element comprises a three-dimensional foam. ### Claim 14 A garment, comprising: a textile layer; a sensor coupled to the textile layer; a monitor device coupled to the sensor; and a retention element coupled to the textile layer and configured to retain the monitor device, wherein the retention element comprises a support element located on an exterior surface of the retention element. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The garment of claim 14, wherein the support element is laminated on or within the retention element. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The garment of claim 14, wherein the support element is printed on to the retention element. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The garment of claim 14, wherein the support element comprises vertical bands configured to support vertical segments of the retention element. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The garment of claim 17, wherein the vertical bands are configured to limit movement of the monitor device in a vertical direction. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The garment of claim 14, wherein the support element comprises an opening support element disposed about an opening in the retention element. ### Claim 20 (depends on 14) The garment of claim 14, wherein the support element partially covers an exterior surface of the retention element.
