The articles made by this method of the invention include socks and gloves which are of three-ply construction with the inside (20) and outside (22) plies being knit and the intermediate ply (12) being made from an elastomeric polyurethane film. The three plies (12, 20, 22) are uniquely bonded together using a pliant, waterproof adhesive.
