Following the resounding success of breathable functional textiles for sport and leisure wear, the development of fabrics for these purposes is said to be entering a new phase. Experts at the internationally renowned textile research centre, the Hohenstein Institute in Bönnigheim, Germany, have analysed the heat and moisture management specifications for fabrics worn on different parts of the human body and in a process called ‘body mapping with comfort zones’ or simply ‘comfort mapping’, the scientists say their findings should make it possible in future to use different textile materials for different parts of a garment, so making sportswear significantly more comfortable to wear.
