6. The integral, three-dimensional spacer textile of claim 5 , wherein the each of the first plurality of multifilament tie yarns and the each of the second plurality of multifilament tie yarns comprise a denier of about 20 denier.
7. The integral, three-dimensional spacer textile of claim 1 , wherein the second layer comprises one or more polyamide yarns and one or more elastomeric yarns.
8. The integral, three-dimensional spacer textile of claim 7 , wherein each of the one or more elastomeric yarns is wrapped with a polyamide yarn.
9. The integral, three-dimensional spacer textile of claim 1 , wherein the second area further comprises a third multifilament tie yarn of the second plurality of multifilament tie yarns in the third layer, the third multifilament tie yarn including a distal terminal end, wherein the third multifilament tie yarn comprises a third length as measured between the second inner surface and the distal terminal end of the third multifilament tie yarn in a direction extending toward the first outer surface plane, the third length less than the second length.
10. A garment comprising:
an integral, three-dimensional spacer textile comprising:
a first area having a first layer having a mesh construction, the first layer having at least a first outer surface defining a first outer surface plane, a second layer having at least a second inner surface, and a third layer, the third layer comprising a first multifilament tie yarn of a first plurality of multifilament tie yarns that interconnect the first layer and the second layer, the first multifilament tie yarn having a first length in the first area as measured between the second inner surface and the first outer surface plane; and
a second area comprising the second layer and a second multifilament tie yarn of a second plurality of multifilament tie yarns in the third layer, the second multifilament tie yarn including a distal terminal end, wherein the second multifilament tie yarn comprises at least a second length as measured between the second inner surface and the distal terminal end of the second multifilament tie yarn in a direction extending toward the first outer surface plane, the second length less than the first length.
11. The garment of claim 10 , wherein the first layer comprises an outer-facing surface of the garment, and wherein the second layer comprises an inner-facing surface of the garment.
12. The garment of claim 10 , wherein the first layer comprises an inner-facing surface of the garment, and wherein the second layer comprises an outer-facing surface of the garment.
13. The garment of claim 10 , wherein the second area is positioned on the garment so as to be positioned adjacent to high heat-producing areas of a human body based on heat maps of the human body when the garment is in an as-worn configuration.
14. The garment of claim 13 , wherein the first area is positioned on the garment so as to be positioned adjacent to low heat-producing areas of the human body based on heat maps of the human body when the garment is in the as-worn configuration.
15. The garment of claim 10 , wherein the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer are interknitted in the first area.
16. An integral, three-dimensional spacer textile comprising:
a first area comprising a first layer having a continuous knit construction, the first layer having at least a first outer surface defining a first outer surface plane, a second layer having at least a second inner surface, and a third layer, the third layer comprising a first multifilament tie yarn of a first plurality of multifilament tie yarns that interconnect the first layer and the second layer, the first multifilament tie yarn having a first length in the first area as measured between the second inner surface and the first outer surface plane; and
