Study of fine denier propylene knitted fabrics' wet comfort. The wet comfort studied by subjective wear trial and synthetic discussion

This paper is mainly concerned with the wet comfort of the fine denier propylene knitted garment. The subjective sensation to these propylene garments is recorded in wear trial. The relations among the normal objective test, the manikin test and the subjective wear test are discussed. The wick capillary height, the moisture resistance, the water holding ability, the moisture releasing and drying ability are recommended as the normal objective ways to evaluate fabric's wet comfort. At last, some principles on designing this type of fabrics are suggested.
