Abstract
A three-dimensional knit or woven fabric that is permeable to water vapor but impermeable to liquid water is provided. The fabric includes a first fabric layer, a second fabric layer and a yarn interconnecting the two layers. The two layers and the yarn are preferably made from a synthetic, such as a polyester or nylon. Both the first and second fabric layers have a barrier layer adhered to the outside surfaces thereof which is both impermeable to liquid water and permeable to water vapor. The fabric is imperviously sealed to prevent the infiltration of water.
