Background and Purpose: In combination with metabolic heat, the heat generated by human activities and worn garment produce 6 basic factors (sometimes called 6 basic parameters because they are in space and time, but fixed representative values are frequently used in analyses) which define thermal body environments. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of one parameter – clothing insulation on the total transfer of heat and water vapor. Materials and Methods: The measurement was carried out on knitted fabrics commercially used for the production of underwear or different types of next-to-skin-wear. The transfer of heat and moisture trough fabrics was observed in two simulated climatic environments (moderate and hot) with the constant parameters metabolic energy and air velocity. Results: The results indicated that the heat resistance increases by laying a knitted fabric layer or under real conditions when the body is dressed in lightweight knitwear by 25%. The test results of the samples under different environment conditions indicated a reduction in heat resistance under moderate conditions. It also applies to the measurement results of the resistance to water vapor transfer, but the differences within the observed relationships are higher than it was in the case of heat transfer resistance. Conclusions: The study showed that both heat and moisture transfers are freely movable controlling elements of comfort perception. Therefore, the optimal design of clothing systems is important factor of comfort.
