Method for protection and waterproofing of stitch lines in padding and padded garments

A method for the protection and waterproofing of lines of stitching between connected pieces of padding having a high degree of thermal insulation, comprising the steps of

• providing a self-adhesive tape having an adhesive side and an opposite non adhesive side;
• cold applying, by contact, over said lines of stitching said adhesive side of said self-adhesive tape, said self adhesive-tape having
• a support layer, a cladding of waterproofing synthetic resin coated on said non adhesive side of said self-adhesive tape and an elastomer based self-adhesive layer coated on said adhesive side, wherein said support layer is made from a polyamide fibre fabric of between 50 and 60 grammes/meter, said cladding of waterproofing synthetic resin is made of a polyurethane resin applied at a rate of 5-15 grammes/square meter and said elastomer based self-adhesive has the following formulation in parts by weight:
