Water resistant water-vapour-permeable composite material

摘要

A composite lining material for a garment or the like comprising a water resistant water-vapour-permeable flexible substrate (2) having a fabric (4) secured to a first side of the substrate (2). A second side of the substrate (2) is provided with an abrasion resisting discontinuous layer 10 made up of a plurality of discrete abrasion resisting polymeric dots 12. The dots 12 prevent abrasion of the flexible substrate 2 and, in use, form a lining for the material. An additional hydrophilic coating (14) may be present.
