Abstract
A composite textile fabric includes a composite layer of a hydrophobic material and a layer of a hydrophilic material knitted or otherwise formed together. The composite layer has an upper surface of small exposed areas of the hydrophilic material covering a total area about 25% of the overall area of the upper surface. The composite layer provides one way liquid transport for moisture, extending from the upper surface towards a lower surface of the composite layer.
