Moisture management can be defined as the controlled movement of water vapour and liquid water (perspiration) from the surface of the skin to the atmosphere through the fabric. This action prevents perspiration remaining next to the skin.
Moisture management is one of the key performance criteria in today's apparel industry, which decides the comfort level of that fabric. To be comfortable and to maintain the state of comfort, clothing must be designed to allow the body‟s heat balance to be maintained under a wide range of environmental conditions and body activity.
It should fulfill this function without inhibiting the evaporation of humidity caused by perspiration and thus not interfering with the temperature regulation of the body. All these desired phenomena come under one technical term, called “moisture management”.
“Breathability” refers to the ease with which gases including water vapor can pass through the fabric. Liquid water released by the body is known as sensible perspiration. To be removed from the body it must be wicked through the fabric structure and then evaporate from the outside of the fabric.
When gets evaporated heat is removed which helps to control the temperature of the body. Water vapor or insensible perspiration can pass through openings between fibers and yarns in a breathable fabric. When water vapor is produced by the body, heat is removed giving a direct cooling effect.
