Abstract: A method of manufacturing a breathable waterproof glove, the method comprising: providing an inner glove layer (30) in a stretched configuration over an oversized glove former (20); while the inner glove layer (30) is in the stretched configuration adhering the inner glove layer (30) to an inner surface of an intermediate glove layer (40) resistant to penetration by liquid water but permeable to water vapour at a plurality of discrete securement locations to form an intermediate glove part in a stretched configuration,the intermediate glove layer defining a first plurality of finger portions (46); providing an outer glove part defining a second plurality of finger portions; and attaching using interconnecting securement tabs (48) the first plurality of finger portions (46) to the second plurality of finger portions formed on the outer glove layer such that each one of the finger portions of the first plurality is registered with a corresponding one of the finger portions of the second plurality.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a breathable waterproof garment, the method comprising: forming a first garment layer (30) in a stretched configuration over an oversized three-dimensional garment former (20) having a profile extending substantially in three dimensions and corresponding to an oversized three-dimensional profile of the garment when worn; covering the first garment layer with an intermediate garment layer (40) resistant to penetration by liquid water but permeable to water vapour; covering the intermediate garment layer (40) with a second garment layer (50); and while the first and second garment layers (30, 50) are simultaneously stretched over the three-dimensional garment former (20) adhering the intermediate garment layer (40) to both the first and second garment layers (30, 40) at a plurality of discrete securement locations.
