Quilted fabrics are more and more frequently used in outdoor clothing, especially jackets. They are usually composed of two or three layers connected together by sewing or thermal quilting. They are characterised by diff erent properties, depending on the structure of the quilted fabrics. In the presented work, fi ve variants of quilted fabrics were studied in terms of of their comfort-related properties, such as thermal resistance, thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity, water-vapour resistance and air permeability. On the basis of the results, it was possible to assess the quilted fabrics from the point of view of their usability for outdoor clothing. Keywords: quilted fabric, thermal insulation, thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity, water-vapour resistance
