“…Thermal comfort is the ability to maintain a constant body temperature through the thermal balance of the heat generated by a person's body and to transfer it to the atmospheric environment [1][2][3]. The thermo-physiological comfort of the clothing is mainly affected by its water evaporation and thermal resistance.…”

In this study, the thermo-physiological wear comfort is mainly characterized by the thermal and water vapor resistance performance of the woven fabrics used as sportswear for outdoor activities. The commonly used twill woven fabric with different thicknesses, weight, and density are selected for the experimental analysis, and it finds that fabric weight and thickness have crucial effects on the thermal resistance, and the water vapor resistance depends linearly on density and thickness. The present study gives an optimal design of sportswear for outdoor activities with low thermal and water vapor resistance.

“…In recent years, various types of functional textiles produced have been produced, such as nonwoven [1][2][3][4], knitted [5], and woven fabrics [6,7]. Functional waterproof-breathable waterborne polyurethane WPU woven fabrics are widely developed owing to their advantages, such as non-toxicity, bio-degradability, and availability [8,9].…”

In this paper, a novel facile strategy is reported for fabricating an environment friendly, aging-resistant, and waterproof-breathable fabric using a “pad-knife” coating technique and waterborne polyurethane (WPU) containing isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and lignin as an antioxidant agent. Morphology, hydrophobic property, accelerated weathering aging property and artificial degradation performance as well as water vapor transmission and tensile property are characterized. Results show that, IPDI can effectively prevent PU discoloration. Lignin amount affects the morphological structure, tearing strength, WVTR and hydrostatic pressure capability of coated fabrics. Moreover, a 2% lignin addition provides fabrics with enhanced waterproof-breathable properties and tearing strength performance compared with pure WPU coated fabrics after accelerated weathering exposure. The facile coating technology can be applied to protective and functional textiles for military and civil polyester tents.

“…Comfort is an important factor to be considered in protective garment design. [10,11] The comfort properties of fabrics are generally classified into three groups, namely, thermo-physiological, tactile, and pressure comfort. [12,13] Among these factors, thermophysiological comfort is one of the first considerations during heavy work or in hot environments.…”

Heat and water vapor transfer behavior of thermal protective clothing is greatly influenced by the air gap entrapped in multilayer fabric system. In this study, a sweating hot plate method was used to investigate the effect of air gap position and size on thermal resistance and evaporative resistance of firefighter clothing under a range of ambient temperature and humidity. Results indicated that the presence of air gap in multilayer fabric system decreased heat and water vapor transfer abilities under normal wear. Moreover, the air gap position slightly influenced the thermal and evaporative performances of the firefighter clothing. In this study, the multilayer fabric system obtained the highest thermal resistance, when the air space was located at position B. Furthermore, the effect of ambient temperature on heat and water vapor transfer properties of the multilayer fabric system was also investigated in the presence of a specific air gap. It was indicated that ambient temperature did not influence the evaporative resistance of thermal protective clothing. A thermographic image was used to test the surface temperature of multilayer fabric system when an air gap was incorporated. These results suggested that a certain air gap entrapped in thermal protective clothing system could affect wear comfort.
