A fabric material 30 comprises an outer, translucent, water resistant fabric 11 bonded to an insulating, fibrous matting 12, and an inner, water resistant fabric 13. The preferred fabric material 30 also includes additional layers of insulating material 24 and low bulk density fibres 31. The preferred outer 11 and inner 13 fibrous layers comprise polypropylene or nylon, and have density = 10-50 (30) g/m2. The preferred insulating material 12 comprises red, needle-punch felt comprising polyester, especially polyethylene terephthalate (PET), fibres of mean length 50-70 (64) mm, and has density = 80-170 (100-150) g/m2. Preferably, the layers are thermally bonded. The preferred insulating layers 24 and 31 are similar to layer 12 but include hollow fibres and have lower density. The, preferably breathable, material can be used in clothing, soft furnishing and roofing felt, but most preferably cold weather garments. |
