Garment with moisture vapor transmissive wind barrier panels

A garment for inhibiting relatively moving air from contacting a portion of a person wearing said garment, said garment comprising:

• a first panel for inhibiting relatively moving air from contacting a portion of the person, said first panel including:
• a first fabric layer;
• a second fabric layer;
• and
• a first membrane disposed between said first and second fabric layers, said first membrane being water-resistant;
• said first panel characterized by an air permeability of not more than 3 CFM/ft.sup.2 and a moisture vapor transmission rate of at least 800 gm/m.sup.2 .multidot.day;
• and
• a second panel connectable with said first panel, said second panel including:
• a third fabric layer;
• a fourth fabric layer;
• and
• a second membrane disposed between said third and fourth fabric layers, said second membrane being water-resistant;
• said second panel characterized by an air permeability of at least 6 CFM/ft.sup.2 and a moisture vapor transmission rate of at least 1000 gm/m.sup.2 .multidot.day.

A garment for inhibiting relatively moving air from contacting a portion of a person wearing said garment, said garment comprising:

• a first panel for inhibiting air from contacting a portion of the person, said first panel including:
• a first fabric layer;
• a second fabric layer;
• and
• a first expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane disposed between said first and second said first fabric layers, said first expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane being water-resistant and having an air permeability of not more than 3 CFM/ft.sup.2 and a moisture vapor transmission rate of at least 800 gm/m.sup.2 .multidot.day;
• a second panel connected with said first panel in at least two locations, said second panel including:
• a third fabric layer;
• a fourth fabric layer;
• a second expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane disposed between said third and fourth fabric layers, said second expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane being water-resistant and having an air permeability of at least 6 CFM/ft.sup.2 and a moisture vapor transmission rate of at least 1000 gm/m.sup.2 .multidot.day.
