Figure 3: Impact of the textile- and weft construction on liquid sweat transport (F).<br />

The spacer fabrics with ribbed skin facing fabric surface and high spacer thread<br />

density have significantly higher F-values than the spacer fabrics with low thread<br />

density, and the spacer fabrics without wefts have significantly higher F-values than<br />

the spacer fabrics with wefts.<br />

The water vapor absorption (Fi) is an important thermophysiological textile property,<br />

particularly in situations with moderate sensible perspiration. The comparatively<br />

small standard deviations on the right hand of Figure 2 indicate that the water vapor<br />

absorption depends on the weft’s chemistry, and in this way on the weft construction.<br />

The spacer fabrics with wefts from hygroscopic viscose and cotton have got<br />

significantly higher Fi-values than the spacer fabrics with wefts from non-hygroscopic<br />

polypropylene, or the spacer fabrics without wefts (respectively).<br />
