AB - In this study, the thermo-physiological wear comfort is mainly characterized  by the thermal and water vapor resistance performance of the woven fabrics  used as sportswear for outdoor activities. The commonly used twill woven  fabric with different thicknesses, weight, and density are selected for the  experimental analysis, and it finds that fabric weight and thickness have  crucial effects on the thermal resistance, and the water vapor resistance  depends linearly on density and thickness. The present study gives an  optimal design of sportswear for outdoor activities with low thermal and  water vapor resistance.
