Abstract

A low stretch fabric for use in inflatable devices that place pressure on body parts, such as anti-G garments. The novel design of the present invention allows it to inflate to a lesser volume, than conventional fabrics, while maintaining the same pressure. This results in faster response times and less bulk of the garment constructed of the present invention.
