Abstract
Quick sweat absorbency and high speed drying fabrics are commonly used to enhance thermophysiological comforts of a variety of sportswear. Three types of sportswear fabrics (HC, DC, FH) were evaluated and classified by PSE (point of subjective equality) minimum discriminating stimuli to human body by a psychophysical method. Objective factors are clinging force and drying time while subjective factors are clinginess and dampness. Each factor was measured and then PSE was calculated for clinginess and dampness. Quality of the quick sweat absorbency and high speed drying fabrics was assessed by a rating scale of 5 according to the time to reach the PSE of dryness (5th level).
