A garment comprises yarns that include an elastic component and includes an uncoated region and a discrete coated region. The discrete coated region includes a coating that includes an acrylic polymer or copolymer thereof. The coated region has an air permeability substantially similar to the air permeability of the uncoated region.

Provided is a reinforcing material having high interfacial adhesion with a matrix resin. The reinforcing material containing a covering layer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a reinforcing material that imparts strength to a matrix resin by being combined with the matrix resin, and a covering layer formed on a surface of the reinforcing material, in which the covering layer is formed of a vaporized material generated by heating the resin.
