Abstract
A stretchable, drapable, windproof, water resistant and water vapor permeable composite fabric including an inner layer of fabric, a polyurethane barrier and an outer layer of fabric. The barrier is constructed to allow water vapor molecules to travel therethrough, but restricts the passage of wind and liquid water. The water vapor is transported to and travels through the barrier to the outer fabric layer where it is removed to the environment.
