Lightweight and low-maintenance clothing apparatus

Abstract

An apparatus material having a first layer, a second layer, and an interior layer, wherein the interior layer is disposed between the first and second layer. The interior layer is formed from a three-dimensional structure having one or more open spaces that permit the flow of air and liquid through the apparatus material. The three-dimensional structure is formed from a plurality of synthetic fibers, wherein each of the plurality of synthetic fibers may contact the first and second surfaces.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus material, the apparatus material comprising:
 a first layer;   an interior layer having a three-dimensional structure formed from a plurality of synthetic fibers,
 wherein the three-dimensional structure one or more open spaces, wherein the one or more open spaces permit the flow of air and liquid through the apparatus material; and 
   a second layer, wherein the first layer is connected to second layer by the three-dimensional structure of the interior layer.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus material of  claim 1 , wherein any of the first, second, or insulation layers are constructed of at least one textile. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus material of  claim 2 , wherein the at least one textile is a synthetic material, selected from a group consisting of at least one of polyester, nylon, spandex, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene (“PTFE”), and/or aramid fibers. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus material of  claim 1 , wherein the first layer is formed by a first weaving process. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus material of  claim 1 , wherein the second layer is formed by a second weaving process. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus material of  claim 1 , wherein the interior layer is formed by a third weaving process. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus material of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of synthetic fibers are constructed from a plurality of synthetic material. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus material of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of synthetic fibers are constructed from nylon and polyester. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus material of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of synthetic fibers has a length in a range of 1-10 mm. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus material of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus material comprises moisture wicking capabilities as a function of the one or more open spaces. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus material of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus material is a breathable material. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus material of  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus material forms a chest piece for a jacket. 
     
     
         13 . A jacket comprising:
 a lining;   a canvas; and   a chest piece formed from an apparatus material, the apparatus material comprising:
 a first layer; 
 an interior layer having a three-dimensional structure formed from a plurality of synthetic fibers,
 wherein the three-dimensional structure one or more open spaces, wherein the one or more open spaces permit the flow of air and liquid through the apparatus material; and 
 
 a second layer, wherein the first layer is connected to second layer by the three-dimensional structure of the interior layer. 
   
     
     
         14 . The jacket of  claim 13 , wherein the jacket is washable. 
     
     
         15 . The jacket of  claim 13 , wherein the apparatus material is a breathable material. 
     
     
         16 . The jacket of  claim 13 , wherein the apparatus material comprises moisture wicking capabilities as a function of the one or more open spaces.
