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 25 cfm/ft², an MVTR per ASTM E-96B method of greater than about 500 g/m²/day and a hydrohead of at least about 50 cmwc.
