Abstract
The paper presented results of wind-tunnel tests performed on selected textile fabrics exposed to controlled air flow, air temperature and humidity and containing various levels of moisture. The study revealed short-term and long-term cooling phenomena for cotton, polyester, nylon and silk, including multi-layer configurations. The findings provide the foundation for the design and development of new garments that provide optimal evaporative cooling of sweat in hot environments and during heavy physical exertion. The findings are applicable to occupational health and safety concerns and sports medicine.
