“…[3] Thus, personal cold-protective clothing offering the functionalities of keeping warm and dry, as well as being water repellent can act as a second skin for the human body, [4,5] which is critical for preventing hypothermia in cold outdoor environments. [6] In fact, it has become critical and an absolute necessity in various working environments, thereby attracting immense attention. Traditionally, personal cold-protective clothing is mostly considered a thick, bulky and heavy multilayer composite textile that creates a dry microclimate around the human body.…”

Functional thin fabric with highly efficient cold protection properties are attracting the great attention of long‐term dressing in a cold environment. Herein, a tri‐layered bicomponent microfilament composite fabric comprised of a hydrophobic layer of PET/PA@C6F13 bicomponent microfilament webs, an adhesive layer of LPET/PET fibrous web, and a fluffy‐soft layer of PET/Cellulous fibrous web is designed and also successfully been fabricated through a facile process of dipping, combined with thermal belt bonding. The prepared samples exhibit a large resistance to wetting of alcohol, a high hydrostatic pressure of 5530 Pa, and brilliant water slipping properties, owing to the presence of dense micropores ranging from 25.1 to 70.3 µm, as well as to the smooth surface with an arithmetic mean deviation of surface roughness (Sa) ranging from 5.112 to 4.369 µm. Besides, the prepared samples exhibited good water vapor permeability, and a tunable CLO value ranging from 0.569 to 0.920, in addition to the fact that it exhibited a very suitable working temperature range of −5 °C to 15 °C. Additionally, it also showed excellent clothing tailorability including high mechanical strength with a remarkably soft texture and lightweight foldability that suitable for cold outdoor clothing applications.
