The present invention relates to breathable, vented, and insulating cold weather garments. More particularly, the present invention relates to garments with chambers to retain an insulating fill material. Perforations along the seams between the insulating chambers may achieve optimal evaporative moisture transfer from the inside (proximal to the body of a wearer) of the garment to the outside environment.

A garment is disclosed for easy donning and removal. In one example, the garment is a pair of pants that comprises: a waistband with a first end and a second end, a first leg, a second leg, a first sealable opening running from said waistband to a hem of said first leg, a second sealable opening running from said waistband to a hem of said second leg, and a front patch. The waistband has an extension strip on said first end. The extension strip extends from a proximity of an intersection of said waistband and said first sealable opening. The second end of said waistband has a component of a fastener. The extension strip has a mating component of said fastener.

One-piece personal wear and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The one-piece personal wear includes a first fabric layer with a first contour and a second fabric layer with a second contour. One or more joint areas are arranged at the predetermined edges of the first contour and the second contour. An intermediate fabric layer is locally provided to intertwine with portions of the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer within the joint area range to form a three-layer fabric structure. The three-layer fabric structure is formed before the first fabric and second layers are tailored out along the first contour and the second contour.

A yarn or thread may include a plurality of substantially aligned filaments, with at least ninety-five percent of a material of the filaments being a thermoplastic polymer material. Various woven textiles and knitted textiles may be formed from the yarn or thread. The woven textiles or knitted textiles may be thermal bonded to other elements to form seams. A strand that is at least partially formed from a thermoplastic polymer material may extend through the seam, and the strand may be thermal bonded at the seam. The woven textiles or knitted textiles may be shaped or molded, incorporated into products, and recycled to form other products.

A one-piece protective suit includes first and second leg portions respectively comprising first and second inseams. A gusset is positioned at a crotch portion of the one-piece protective suit between the first and second leg portions. The gusset includes a front gusset seam and a back gusset seam connected at two opposite lateral points in the crotch portion. The ventral seam connects to the front gusset seam at a ventral point of the crotch portion and the dorsal seam connects to the back gusset seam at a dorsal point of the crotch portion. The gusset has a diamond shape with the ventral point and the dorsal point at vertices thereof.
