Barrier laminates and methods of making the same

A method of making a barrier laminate, comprising:

• (i) providing a hollow outer fabric layer structure comprising an outer fabric layer that is bonded to itself to form an outer fabric layer seal extending from a first outer fabric layer end to a second outer fabric layer end and to form an outer fabric layer conduit;
• and
• (ii) providing a laminate comprising (a) a barrier film layer and (b) an inner fabric layer;
• wherein the laminate is thermally bonded to itself via the barrier film layer to define a laminate seal and to form a hollow laminate structure defining a laminate conduit, and wherein the barrier film layer includes particulate fillers therein that define a plurality of protrusions extending outwardly from the barrier layer film,
• (iii) encircling the hollow outer fabric layer structure with the laminate;
• wherein the barrier layer film is located either directly or indirectly between the outer fabric layer and the inner fabric layer to form an intermediate barrier laminate;
• (iv) inverting the intermediate barrier laminate to form the barrier laminate;
• wherein the outer fabric layer encircles and overlies the laminate at the completion of the inverting step.
