Buying tips: How to choose the right material for knitted sportswear?
The properties of clothing materials critically affects the comfort and performance of the wearer. Clothing is not only a cover for the skin but also interacts with and modifies the heat regulating function of the skin and these are influenced by the environment.
Fabric structure, fiber type and yarn details are the key factors that influence clothing's air permeability. For sportswear, these factors are very essential to consider. Under normal circumstance, the wearer may not experience any difference in comfort while wearing cotton clothes or polyester clothes though they have different water vapor transmission behaviors. However, during exercising or playing, sweating starts to create a latent heat flux by evaporating sweat at the skin surface. This increases the relative humidity of the microclimate with which the fabric is in contact, which can lead to discomfort if adequate vapor transmission is not permitted by the fabric. These findings are very essential to consider for the development of higher performance sportswear materials because hyperthermia (an increase in body temperature above normal) is an important factor limiting exercise or sports performance.
