  • Publication number: 20230371629
    Abstract: There is provided a reinforcement material for a garment, the garment having at least one region exposed to external mechanical forces. The reinforcement material includes a piece of fabric, the piece of fabric including a plurality of micrometric pores distributed among a surface of the piece of fabric. The micrometric pores are sized, positioned and oriented to allow a passage of at least one of: heat, moisture, vapors and water therethrough. The piece of fabric has abrasion resistance properties and breathability properties and is configured to be affixed to the garment in the region(s) exposed to the external mechanical forces, thereby enhancing the mechanical resistance of the garment without significantly affecting breathability properties of the garment, when the piece of fabric is affixed to the garment.
