Modern textile constructions are impermeable to water, or resist wetting for longer time, whilst allowing water vapour to reach through.
  1. Microporous membranes these are very fine films, containing very fine pores used either laminating onto a textile or between.
  2. Hygroscopic membranes (water absorbing).
  3. Microfibre fabrics with a hydrophobic finish. very fine synthetic fibres are used to make tightly woven fabrics having very small pores.
