Abstract

A study of existing conventional single layer woven fabric for sportswear was studied and their characteristics such as Wickability, Air-permeability, Water- Vapour Permeability, Thermal Conductivity and Thermal Resistance were tested and critically analysed. It was found that polyester cotton (PC) & Polyester Viscose (PV) blended spun yarns with Plain & Matt weave structures were generally used for conventional sportswear fabrics. It was further observed that in both PC & PV, Matt weave structure showed better characteristics on Wickability, Air Permeability, Water Vapour Permeability and Thermal Conductivity, whereas plain weave structure showed better Thermal Resistance when compared to matt weave structure.
