A multilayer fabric structure having an insulating interlayer of non-woven fabric that is constructed in such a manner to enhance the insulating capabilities. In one embodiment, the insulating interlayer is constructed in a looped configuration to improve the insulation capabilities. In another embodiment, the insulating interlayer is constructed in a baffle configuration to improve the insulation capabilities. Methods of making a multilayer fabric structure are also described.
