1. A method of manufacturing an active-insulation paneling component for incorporation into a garment, the method comprising:
applying formation stitch lines to partially join two fabric layers together, wherein the formation stitch lines define insulation-panel-formation sections and gusset-formation sections located between the insulation-panel-formation sections, wherein each gusset-formation section is defined by at least two formation stitch lines;
filling the insulation-panel-formation sections with insulation;
folding the gusset-formation sections to bring borders of adjacent insulation-panel-formation sections together, the borders of the adjacent insulation-panel-formation sections defined by the formation stitch lines; and
applying, substantially orthogonal to the formation stitch lines, at least one finishing stitch line to seal ends of the insulation-panel-formation sections and fix the folding of the gusset-formation sections to form the active-insulation paneling component, wherein the active-insulation paneling component is configured to expand when a pulling force is applied in a direction orthogonal to the formation stitch lines.
