Laminate materials (6) are constituted by at least a textile web (1) (a web of knitted, woven or scrim material) and a nonwoven elastomeric web (2) preferably a web of meltblown elastomeric fibers, bonded together. Bonding is performed with the elastomeric web (2) in an unstretched or only partially stretched state, so that the textile web is flat (non-gathered) when the elastomeric web is in its unstretched state. The laminate material (6) has recovery and barrier (opacity, insulation, wind resistance, etc.) properties, while retaining breathability, due to the nonwoven elastomeric web. The laminate material can be used for wearing apparel and fitted pads (table pads, mattress pad, etc.). Also disclosed are methods of forming the laminate materials and special uses of same. <IMAGE> |
