AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The design provides consistent thermal insulation by maintaining the insulating material within the fabric shell, preventing migration and ensuring uniform warmth across the fabric, enhancing user comfort and performance.

Problems solved by technology

Additionally, the insulator may not be evenly distributed throughout the material.
As an example, the insulator may not be evenly distributed throughout the material as a result of the insulator moving within the material.

Abstract

A composite fabric includes a first fabric layer and a plurality of insulating structures adjacent to the first fabric layer. Each of the plurality of insulating structures include a fabric shell defining a cavity and an insulating material located within the cavity. In further aspects a composite fabric includes a plurality of insulating structures separated by a plurality of spacers. Each of the plurality of spacers includes a fabric material and each of the plurality of insulating structures includes a fabric shell defining a cavity and an insulating material located within the cavity.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of Nonprovisional application Ser. No. 16 / 502,188, filed on Jul. 3, 2019, which is a Nonprovisional of and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 694,189, filed Jul. 5, 2018, each of which is hereby incorporated by referenced in its entirety.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]The present disclosure relates to composite fabrics, and in particular to composite fabrics including a plurality of insulating structures that provide the composite fabric with thermal insulation.BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0003]An article of apparel may include a material including an insulator. Examples of insulators include, natural filler materials such as down (e.g., goose or duck plumage) and synthetic filler materials such as polyester. The insulator may move within the material. For example, the insulator may move as a result of use of the article, movement of a wearer of the article, and / or the force of gravi...
