Abstract

Abstract A weather-resistant windproof lined garment has an outer layer 1 comprising a stretchable knit or woven textile attached to one or more specified wrist, neck, waist ankle or front borders, with an inner stretchable liner 2, including a first porous hydrophobic polymer layer 4 coated with a hydrophilic layer 5, which in turn is coated with an elastomeric textile layer 6.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 48 words
A weather-resistant windproof lined garment characterised by (a) an outer layer which comprises a stretchable knit or woven textile with (b) an inner stretchable liner, including a first porous hydrophobic polymer layer coated with a hydrophlic polymer layer, which in turn is coated with an elastomeric textile layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 48 words
A weather-resistant windproof lined garment characterised by (a) an outer layer which comprises a stretchable knit or woven textile with (b) an inner stretchable liner, including a first porous hydrophobic polymer layer coated with a hydrophlic polymer layer, which in turn is coated with an elastomeric textile layer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
A garment according to claim 1, characterised in that the outer layer is knitted textile.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
A garment according to claim 2, characterised in that said elastomeric textile layer is an elastomeric polyurethane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
A garment according to claim 3, characterised in that said hydrophobic polymer is porous polytetrafluoroethylene.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 26 words
A garment according to claim 4, characterised in that said elastomeric textile layer is manufactured from a blend of an elastomeric polyurethane with a second textile.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 17 words
A garment according to claim 5, characterized in that said second textile is comprised of polyamide fibre.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 27 words
A garment according to claim 1, claim 4, or claim 5 characterised in that the attachment of layers (a) and (b) at the border is by sewing.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 14 words
A garment according to claim 1, characterised in that the outer layer is wool.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 17 words
A garment according to claim 1, characterised in that the outer layer is a synthetic stretchable knit.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 32 words
A garment according to any preceding claim characterised in that said stretchable liner is aligned within said garment such that the direction of maximum stretchability is around the circumference of said garment.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 50 words
A weather-resistant windproof garment material comprising a first layer which comprises a stretchable knit or woven textile attached at spaced apart positions to a second stretchable layer which comprises a first porous hydrophobic polymer layer coated with a hydrophilic polymer layer, which is itself coated with an elastomeric textile layer.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 50 words
A weather-resistant windproof garment material comprising a first layer which comprises a stretchable knit or woven textile attached at spaced apart positions to a second stretchable layer which comprises a first porous hydrophobic polymer layer coated with a hydrophilic polymer layer, which is itself coated with an elastomeric textile layer.
