Protective composite fabrics and methods of manufacture and use

A composite fabric, comprising:

• a film having a first side and a second side;
• a first fibrous layer having a first side facing the second side of the film and a second side;
• a fabric layer having a first side facing the second side of the first fibrous layer and a second side;
• a second fibrous layer having a first side facing the second side of the fabric layer and a second side;
• and
• a plurality of retaining members connected to and extending from the second side of the second fibrous layer and configured to contact a surface on which the composite fabric is placed and resist movement of the composite fabric relative to the surface, wherein the plurality of retaining members are configured such that a majority of the second side of the second fibrous layer is spaced from the surface, and wherein the plurality of retaining members form at least one pocket between one or more of the plurality of retaining members, the second side of the second fibrous layer and the surface.

A composite fabric, comprising:

• a film having a first side and a second side;
• a fabric layer having a first side and a second side;
• at least one fibrous layer having a first side and a second side, wherein the at least one fabric layer is positioned between the film layer and the at least one fibrous layer;
• and
• a plurality of retaining members configured to contact a surface on which the composite fabric is placed and for resisting movement of the composite fabric relative to the surface, the retaining members connected to and extending from the second side of the at least one fibrous layer such that the second side of the at least one fibrous layer is entirely spaced from the surface, wherein the retaining members include a first vapor corrosion inhibitor, and wherein the plurality of retaining members form at least one pocket between one or more of the plurality of retaining members, the second side of the at least one fibrous layer, and the surface, and wherein at least a portion of the first vapor corrosion inhibitor collects in one or more of the pockets.
