When someone plays sports, whether a professional athlete or
just a sports lover, is desirable feel comfortable, especially with
apparel. This comfort is related to sweat that evaporates or that
stay retained in fabric, which has influence body’s thermoregulation
and in keeping the fabric dry even during the exercises. Based
on this principle, this work had as objective to evaluate moisture
management performance in double face knitting with different
constructions (swiss piquet and double face pique) and fibers
(cotton, polyamide and polyester) using Moisture Management
Tester (MMT) to the evaluation. Results shows that double face
constructions with different absorption potential fibers in both faces
presented more satisfying results confirming hypotheses on the
subject.
