Abstract
Abstract A weather resistant, vertically foldable, insulating, multi-layered textile composite is provided having a first outer layer composed of a knitted textile fabric with tightly interlaced synthetic textile yarns, which layer has water repellency properties. A second layer next to the first layer is composed of a tightly woven textile fabric having a flexible, polymeric essentially closed cell foam coating attached thereto. A third layer next to the second layer is composed of a non-woven batt of insulating textile fibers. A fourth layer next to the third layer is composed of an impervious synthetic polymeric film. A fifth layer next to the fourth layer is composed of a non-woven batt of chemical resistant textile fibers. A sixth inside layer next to the fifth layer is composed of a knitted textile fabric having tightly interlaced synthetic textile yarns, which layer has water repellency properties. The said layers are stitched together by rows of stitches of synthetic textile yarns, which rows of stitches are at least horizontally disposed such that the composite is vertically foldable. The composite has an insulating R value of at least 3 at a total composite thickness of at least less than 0.50 inch.
