THERMOREGULATORY IMPACT RESISTANT MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a protective material which is used in a wearable article to enhance thermal regulation of the user, provide protection to the user by means of pressure and energy absorption, and acts as a platform for technologies (such as sensors) that increase performance and function when worn by the user. The protective, thermoregulatory impact resistant material includes a mesh material which has layers of woven yarn connected together between layers, and having an overall pattern. The mesh material is knitted as a layered three-dimensional fabric, where the layers are interconnected by spacer yarn. The mesh material provides both evaporative cooling, and acts as an insulating barrier, and its properties can be controlled by an openness, thickness, or tightness of the weave of the yarn, or a distance between the layers. The mesh material can be worn under protective clothing and equipment.
