DEF

Vêtement fait d'un tissu imperméable à l'eau mais perméable à l'air.

CONT

La popularité des imperrespirants tient à ce que nous détestons l'inconfort des vêtements mouillés. Ils se mouillent plus ou moins vite selon l'épaisseur de l'enduit ou du laminé.

OBS

Formation du mot : Création par composition, imper (imperméable) + respirant (laisse pénétrer l'air).
