Abstract
Fabrics made for apparel, tents, sleeping bags and the like, in various composites, constructed such that a combination of substrate layers and insulation layers is configured to provide improved thermal insulation. The fabric composites are constructed to form a radiant barrier against heat loss via radiation and via conduction from a body.
Claims55
A moisture vapour permeable composite, comprising at least one moisture vapour permeable substrate, a first insulation layer adjacent to the first surface of said substrate and a second insulation layer adjacent to the second surface of said substrate.
An infra-red reflective composite, comprising:
- at least one moisture vapour permeable and substantially liquid impermeable substrate;
- at least one insulation layer;
- and
- at least one metal layer;
- wherein the at least one insulation layer is made of a material that has substantially more thermal resistance than the metal layer.
An infra-red reflective composite, comprising:
- at least one moisture vapour permeable substrate;
- at least one insulating layer;
- and
- at least one metal layer;
- wherein the insulating layer is made of a material that has substantially more thermal resistance than the metal layer;
- and
- wherein the substrate is stretchable.
