An energy expenditure garment (30) includes at least a portion of the garment made from multilayer construction which has an inner layer (10) of hydrophobic material to direct moisture away from the skin with an intermediate layer (12) of hydrophilic material to store the moisture. An outer layer (14) of non-porous and non-moisture permeable material is provided outwardly of the storage layer to act as a barrier or wall for preventing evaporation of the moisture stored in the intermediate layer. Preferably, a moisture vapor transmission membrane (16) is provided between the hydrophobic inner layer and the hydrophilic storage layer to provide one way flow of the moisture to the storage layer. |
