Abstract
Composite fabrics for waterproof applications are disclosed. In one embodiment, the composite fabric material includes a middle section of three-dimensional fabric with a first surface and a second surface. A first barrier layer is proximate to the first surface and is substantially impermeable to water vapor and liquid water. A second barrier layer is proximate the second surface and is substantially impermeable to water vapor and liquid water.
Claims41
A composite fabric material comprising:
- a middle section comprising a three-dimensional fabric structure with a first surface and a second surface;
- a first barrier layer proximate the first surface, wherein the first barrier layer is substantially impermeable to water vapor and liquid water;
- and
- a second barrier layer proximate the second surface, wherein the second barrier layer is substantially impermeable to water vapor and liquid water.

A composite fabric material comprising:
- a middle section comprising a two-dimensional fabric including a first surface and a second surface;
- a first barrier layer which is substantially impermeable to water vapor and liquid water and is adhered to the first surface of the middle section;
- and
- a second barrier layer that is substantially impermeable to water vapor and liquid water and is adhered to the second surface of the middle section,
- wherein the composite fabric material is substantially free of neoprene.
