LIQUID WATER RESISTANT AND WATER VAPOR PERMEABLE GARMENTS

摘要

A water resistant garment having regions of high MVTR while maintaining water resistance. The garment has a nanofiber layer bonded to, and in a face-to-face relationship with, a fabric layer. Optionally a second fabric layer is bonded adjacent to and in a face-to-face relationship with the nanofiber layer and on the opposite side of the nanofiber layer to the first fabric layer. The garment has regions having a Frazier air permeability of no greater than about 7.6m<SUP>3</SUP>/m<SUP>2</SUP>/min, an MVTR per ASTM E- 96B method of greater than about 500 g/m<SUP>2</SUP>/day and a hydrohead of at least about 50 cm of water.
