Fabrics, Sportswear, moisture, leisureAbstract
In current years, development in active sportswear fabrics has been progressing to perform high function and
achieves comfort. Today sports demand high performance equipment and apparel. It is very important to produce sportswear
with comfort, functionality and cost effective. The sportswear manufacturing textile industries not only keep their eyes on
market diversification for fibrous materials but also on textile science and technology. The use of innovative textile science
and technology in the manufacturing of sports and leisurewear fabrics is continuously enhancing day by day to fulfill the
requirements for athletics and leisure activities for their better performance in the sports. This aim of this project is to
develop wool/polyester bi-layer knitted fabric with different combinations and to study the physical aspects and comfort
aspects such as wetting, wicking, water absorbency, dryness, moisture vapour transfer, thermal conductivity and air
permeability based on objective and subjective evaluation.
