A waterproof insert for lining the interior of contoured articles of clothing is described, which comprises two superimposed layers, each of which is a laminate composed of a sheet of porous polymeric membrane (1, 1') that is breathable but waterproof, laminated by an adhesive of breathable thermoplastic polymer (2, 2') to a sheet of textile material (3, 3'). The layers are joined to form a uniformly welded seam, and the inserts slide easily over the inner protective lining of the article of clothing. |
