Title:
MICROCLIMATE REGULATING GARMENT AND COMPOSITE STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2004308101
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a garment and composite structure capable of regulating microclimate which prevents trapping moisture in the garment that lessens wear-cycle time due to saturation and limits promotion of microbial growth.

The invention related to the composite structure and the garment constructed from the composite structure which can be worn next to the skin or as outerwear as well as a process for making the composite structure and garment. The garment provides microclimate control for the wearer by means of at least one three-dimensional passageway formed by an outer cover material which is secured to a first substrate layer. The passageway contains a filler material which adds support to the walls of the passageways and allows a fluid to flow through the filler material. The passageway provides a thermal insulation by its bulk or by allowing a fluid to be pumped through it. The first substrate layer is breathable to increase the comfort level of the wearer.
