The flexible, breathable multilayered material (100, 110) )includes a first layer (105) of soft and hypoallergenic material (e.g., cotton, silk, linen), a second layer (103) of soft, heat retentive material (e.g., wool, cashmere) contacting the first layer (105), and a third layer (101) of water repellent material contacting the second layer (103). Additionally, the multilayered material (100, 110) provides a thin, flexible, breathable fabric that can be used to construct various garments, devices, and gears to combat harsh weather conditions.</p> |
