The present application relates to athletic field covers with wind-refracting layer.

A carpet pad includes a top hook layer and a bottom anti-slip layer. An upper surface of the hook layer is provided with protruding monofilaments in a bent shape. Top ends of the protruding monofilaments are provided with bumps formed by melting/softening and then cooling the protruding monofilaments. The protruding monofilaments on the hook layer are heat-treated to make their top ends melted/softened into the small bumps. The heat-treated protruding monofilaments have a certain degree of curvature and inclination, and thus can firmly hook with various carpets above and provide a large friction force, in particular in a vertical direction. The length and density of the protruding monofilaments are reasonably designed to make the protruding monofilaments well hook and lock with the carpet above. In addition, the protruding monofilaments touch soft, and the bumps are not prickly.

The present invention provides multiple processes of making fabric composites using fabric and/or fiber waste, or virgin fabric or fiber as starting material and via a needle punching process. The fabric and/or fiber waste, or virgin fabric or fiber, are regenerated to form fabric composites for reuse.
