Abstract
The present invention relates to a breathable and impermeable insert intended for use in the clothing industry. In a preferred embodiment, the insert comprises a microporous polymer foam layer embedded in a textile substrate. The foam layer is mechanically reinforced by a textile substrate, and, due to the flexibility of the foam, the textile retains most of its feel and flexibility. The foam is water vapor permeable, but liquid water impermeable. Methods for easily producing breathable textile inserts are disclosed.
