A Review on Comfort Properties of Functional Wear Apparels

Abstract: Comfort properties are the very important part for the performance based fabrics. When compared to woven fabrics, knitted fabrics are more suitable for functional wear applications. The bi-layer and multilayered the use of fabrics in utilitarian applications is more appropriate. when compared to single layered fabrics. Performance based fabrics can protect against frozen or warm conditions. It is also found that these fabrics can offer a hygienic barrier, keeping infectious and toxic materials away from the body. The performance based fabrics are unique in certain aspects such as dimensional, physical, moisture and thermal properties. This paper presents a literature review of multilayer, physical, moisture and thermal comfort properties of performance based fabrics.
