Abstract :The aim of this study is to develope a new approach for objective comfort assesment of knitted fabrics used in sportswear industry. The method is based on measurement of various mechanical and heat / mass transfer properties and converting the test results into the axis values to draw multi-axial graphics. The graphic area is used to calculate unitless Total Comfort Value (TCV); the higher the TCV the higher the clothing comfort performance the fabric has.
Keywords : Knitted fabric, Clothing comfort, multi-axial graphic
