Vented garment

A method of making a vented garment comprising:

• forming a first layer for a garment panel;
• forming a second layer for the garment panel;
• aligning the first layer with the second layer with a first surface of the first layer facing a second surface of the second layer to form at least one garment panel;
• bonding the first surface of the first layer to the second surface of the second layer to form a first row of a first plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams and a successive row of a second plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams, wherein the successive row of the second plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams is horizontally offset from the first row of the first plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams, wherein a first seam of the first plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams is angularly oriented in a first direction and a second seam of the second plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams is angularly oriented in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction, wherein a first portion of the first seam is horizontally aligned with a second portion of the second seam, wherein the first seam and the second seam define an interconnected chamber between the first layer and the second layer, and
• filling the interconnected chamber with a thermally-insulating material;
• and
• forming the vented garment using the garment panel.

A vented garment panel for an insulated garment, the vented garment panel comprising:

• a first layer having a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is configured to be exposed to an external environment;
• a second layer having a third surface and a fourth surface, wherein the third surface is configured to be proximate to a wearer's body when the insulated garment is worn, and wherein the second surface of the first layer faces the fourth surface of the second layer;
• and
• a thermally-insulating material,
• wherein the second surface of the first layer is bonded to the fourth surface of the second layer by at least a first row of a first plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams and a successive row of a second plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams,
• wherein the successive row of the second plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams is horizontally offset from the first row of the first plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams,
• wherein a first seam of the first plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams is angularly oriented in a first direction and a second seam of the second plurality of discrete and angularly oriented seams is angularly oriented in a second direction that is opposite the first direction,
• wherein a first portion of the first seam is horizontally aligned with a second portion of the second seam,
• wherein the first seam and the second seam define an interconnected chamber between the first layer and the second layer, and
• wherein the thermally-insulating material is contained within the interconnected chamber.
