The thermal and moisture sensations are widely recognised as the most important factors contributing to the discomfort of subjects during exercise. The aim of this work is to find a new method of assembling different kinds of fabrics in clothing to achieve maximum thermal-wet comfort during exercise. The thermal-wet comfort of ten T-shirts made of ten kinds of hygroscopic fibres, such as cotton, wool, lyocell, model, soybean, bamboo and their blends, was investigated in wear trials in a standard environmental chamber. The experimental results show that the thermal-wet comfort of the ten kinds of T-shirt is varied due to the fibre types, which mainly influence the heat and moisture transfer during exercise. The temperature and humidity distribution of different sections of the human body are significantly different, resulting in different requirements for thermal-wet comfort during exercise. Based on the experimental results, a new method of assembling optimal fabrics with a certain thermal-wet comfort to match different sections of the human body to improve the thermal-wet comfort of the clothing system during exercise is given and validated in comparison wear trials.

Reakcja tkanin na warunki termiczne i wilgoć jest uważana za najważniejszy czynnik wpływający na komfort lub dyskomfort ubrań podczas użytkowania. Celem przedstawionej pracy było znalezienie nowej metody oceny zastosowania zróżnicowanych tkanin w odzieży dla uzyskania maksymalnego komfortu termicznego i przewodzenia wilgoci podczas użytkowania. Badano komfort termiczny przy noszeniu 10 koszulek wykonanych z włókien o różnej higroskopijności takich jak bawełna, wełna, lyocell, włókna modalne, sojowe, bambusowe i ich mieszanki. Koszulki były badane podczas noszenia w standardowych warunkach otoczenia. Badania wykazały zróżnicowany komfort termiczny i transport wilgoci. Rozkłady temperatury i przewodzenie wilgoci są silnie zróżnicowane w zależności od analizowanej części ciała człowieka. Skłania to do wniosku o stosowaniu materiałów o różnych właściwościach w tym samym ubiorze. Artykuł przedstawia system optymalnego doboru właściwości materiałów oraz ich sprawdzenia podczas użytkowania.
