The present invention relates to a breathable fastener for use in a hook fastener system. The breathable fastening system includes a first breathable mechanical fastener surface, generally a loop or fibrous type surface, that can optionally be coupled to a breathable backing loop, and a second large area breathable hook type fastener. . Hook type fasteners usually have an integral film backing, the porosity of the film backing is 0.0001 to 0.005 cm 3 , the backing thickness is 25 to 200 μm, and the rigidity is 10 to 2000 Gurley units. Yes, the hook or protrusion containing surface area is at least 10 cm 2 . |
