Sound-absorbing material includes a monolithic main layer which is made of non-woven fiber fabric and has two opposite faces delimiting the thickness of the monolithic main layer. The monolithic main layer has a density gradient in the direction of its thickness. The monolithic main layer has a gradient in the fiber count in the direction of its thickness which decreases, passing from a first face to a second face of the monolithic main layer. The density gradient has an inverse trend with respect to the gradient in fiber count.

The present invention provides a laminated nonwoven fabric achieving both handling properties during manufacturing and use and adherence to a skin surface at a high level particularly when used for a face mask. The laminated nonwoven fabric includes a nonwoven fabric layer (A) and a nonwoven fabric layer (B). The nonwoven fabric layer (A) is formed from a fiber A having a single fiber diameter of 50 nm or more and 800 nm or less, and the nonwoven fabric layer (B) is formed from a fiber B having a single fiber diameter of 3 m or more and 30 m or less. The nonwoven fabric layer (B) includes 15 to 40% by mass of a fiber B1 to all of the fibers constituting the nonwoven fabric layer (B), the fiber having tensile strength of 2.0 cN/dtex or less as measured based on JIS L 1015: 2010 8.7.2. The nonwoven fabric layer (B) Includes a fiber B2 having tensile strength exceeding 2.0 cN/dtex as measured based on JIS L 1015: 2010 8.7.2. The nonwoven fabric layer (A) is disposed as an outermost layer of at least one surface.

The apparel is constructed from various combinations of layers of materials with moisture transfer properties. A first liner of moisture transfer fabrics abuts a second layer of structural material such as foam. The second layer can abut a breathable membrane and/or an insulating material. Finally, carefully selected outer fabrics complete the combination to provide apparel with improved performance characteristics. The outer fabrics are treated in various ways to enhance performance.
