The article of clothing further comprises an elastic mesh. The elastic mesh is sandwiched between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer. Herein, the elastic mesh has higher elasticity along a first direction as compared to a second direction thereof. The elastic mesh is heat sealed to at least one of the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer

A multilayer nonwoven fabric includes an elastic nonwoven fabric comprising an α-olefin copolymer having a ratio of a storage elastic modulus E40 at 40° C. and a storage elastic modulus E23 at 23° C. (E40/E23) is 37% or more, and an extensible spunbonded nonwoven fabric disposed on at least one side of the elastic nonwoven fabric.

Materials and methods for mitigating passive intermodulation. A membrane for reducing passive intermodulation includes a first polymeric layer, a second polymeric layer, and a continuous metal layer encapsulated between the first and second polymeric layers. A self-adhesive radio frequency barrier tape includes a waterproof polymeric top layer, a metal-containing layer adhered by an adhesive layer to the polymeric top layer, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the metal-containing layer, and a release liner on a bottom surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. A method of mitigating passive intermodulation includes passing a probe over an area of interest, the probe being sensitive to an intermodulation frequency of interest, and identifying a suspected source of passive intermodulation when the amplitude of the probe output exceeds a threshold at the frequency of interest. The method further includes covering the suspected passive intermodulation source with a radio frequency barrier material.

A waistband for a garment includes a bandroll having an absorption layer and a wicking layer. The wicking layer controls stretch properties of the absorption layer. The waistband comprises a second material and wherein a shrinkage of a material substrate of the bandroll substantially matches a shrinkage of the second material.
