  Abstract

Clothing comfort is a basic requirement of human beings and it has influence on wearers performance, health and efficiency. Sport clothing is dependent on layering of a garment and its individual thermal properties and on the set and air layer between fabrics. The aim of this study was to investigate the thermal properties of sport fabrics with dependency on structure parameters and maintenance with various sets of layers. Three major types of cloth layering fabrics that can be used for first, second and third layer of sport cloths commercial materials were used for the study. After single layer thermal property measurement, 107 sets of samples were prepared by combination of first, second and third-layer fabrics. Comparison between them and their combination gives data for end users. The higher thermal resistance values of 108.6, 109.7 and 116.2 K쨌m2 W-1 had recorded at combination of 100 % Elastane with combination of 90 % PES plus 10 % Spandex, 100 % PES and 100 % PES respectively. Sportswear produced from a combination of 100 % Elastane and 100 % PES had lower thermal conductivity as compared to sportswear made from polyamide. From 107 sets of sport fabrics, polyamide combined sport fabrics had higher water absorption capability than polyester-based sportswear. This is because PES based fabrics with 10 % elastane had better thermal diffusivity than polyamide-based sport fabrics. The water vapor resistance of combined fabrics significantly affected by water vapor resistance value of single layer at P value of 0.002 with good correlation value of Adj.R2 0.79905. Water vapor permeability of the sport fabric increases as fabric thickness decreases and presence of openness of the fabric. 100 % PES inner layer, 90 % PES and 10 % Elastane meddle fabric and 100 % Polyamide with polyurethane laminated (Inner part 100 % polyamide) outer layer had greater water resistance than others.
