Abstract: An absorbing article has a hydrophobic, liquid impermeable back side layer and a liquid permeable top layer together with an interposed hydrophilic core layer. The article is made so that at least the back side layer comprises hydrophobic vegetable fibers, preferably kapok fibers, and that the top lay can comprise wool fibers.
Such an article is advantageous since it may be used for keeping the user warm in situations where there is need for liquid absorption without the risk of unintended temperature elevation known from plastic products.
