Composite textile

A composite textile comprising:

• a first layer formed from a two-yarn composite that includes a first yarn formed from a plurality of meta-aramid fibers and a second yarn formed from a plurality of polyester fibers;
• wherein the first layer extends along a longitudinal axis;
• a second layer formed from the two-yarn composite and abutting the first layer along the longitudinal axis;
• and
• a third layer formed from the two-yarn composite and abutting the second layer along the longitudinal axis to thereby sandwich the second layer between the first layer and the second layer;
• wherein the plurality of meta-aramid fibers and the plurality of polyester fibers are present in the composite textile in a ratio of a quantity of the plurality of meta-aramid fibers to an amount of the plurality of polyester fibers of from 5:95 to 95:5;
• wherein the first yarn has a first surface and the second yarn has a second surface spaced opposite the first surface;
• wherein the first yarn includes a plurality of hooks each extending from the first surface toward the second surface;
• wherein the first layer includes a first plurality of micro-ridges disposed along the first surface and the second layer includes a second plurality of micro-ridges disposed along the second surface;
• and
• wherein the first plurality of micro-ridges and the second plurality of micro-ridges interact to generate friction between the first layer and the second layer and limit movement of the first layer and the second layer with respect to one another as the composite textile extends along the longitudinal axis in response to a tensile force.

• wherein the first yarn has a first surface having a first surface finish;
• wherein the first yarn has a yarn count of 21 meta-aramid fibers and a single ply;
• wherein the second yarn is a spun yarn and has a second surface spaced opposite the first surface and having a second surface finish that is smoother than the first surface finish;
• wherein the first yarn includes a plurality of hooks each extending from the first surface toward the second surface and having a height of from 1 micron to 50 microns;
• wherein the first layer includes a first plurality of micro-ridges disposed along the first surface and the second layer includes a second plurality of micro-ridges disposed along the second surface;
• wherein the first plurality of micro-ridges and the second plurality of micro-ridges contact one another to generate friction between the first layer and the second layer and limit movement of the first layer and the second layer with respect to one another as the composite textile extends along the longitudinal axis in response to a tensile force;
• and
• wherein the plurality of hooks attach to the second surface along the longitudinal axis to limit movement of one of the first layer and the second layer with respect to another of the first layer and the second layer along the longitudinal axis in response to the tensile force.
