| Abstract: |
An article of clothing and the method of making the same which will allow water vapor due to perspiration to transpire through the article but will prevent liquid water from external sources from reaching the wearer's extremity. One form of the article of the invention comprises a sock which is of three-ply construction with the inside and outside plies being knit and the intermediate ply being made from a stretch and return polyurethane film. The three plies are uniquely bonded together using a pliant, waterproof adhesive. Another form of the mandrel comprises a glove which is of a similar three-ply construction.

- (a) forming a waterproof, breathable material into a stretchable bladder having an open cuff portion and a continuous hand receiving portion having the general shape of the wearer's hand including a continuous outer surface and a continuous inner surface generally conformable to the contours of the wearer's hand; and
- (b) bonding a first generally hand-shaped covering member having an inner surface and an outer surface directly to said inner surface of said hand receiving portion of said bladder to form a subassembly portion of said article, said first generally hand-shaped covering member being made from a yarn comprising elastic fibers, said bonding being accomplished by the steps of applying a thin layer of adhesive to a selected one of said inner surface of said hand receiving portion of said stretchable bladder and said outer surface of said hand-shaped covering member and then placing said bladder over said first generally hand-shaped covering.
