Abstract

Aspects herein relate to a textile knitted with an adaptive yarn that incorporates insulation features as well as variable air permeability features. The adaptive textile may exhibit a baseline level of insulation. The adaptive textile is configured to exhibit a first air permeability when unexposed to a physical stimulus such as water and a second air permeability when exposed to the physical stimulus where the second air permeability is greater than the first air permeability.
