Fabric Breathability

Meaning

A technical property of textile materials that quantifies their capacity to allow moisture vapor and air to pass through the material, facilitating the dissipation of heat and sweat from the skin surface. In a physiological context, this characteristic is important for maintaining optimal skin microclimate and core body temperature regulation. Selecting highly breathable fabrics is a simple, yet effective, strategy for supporting the body’s thermoregulation and minimizing dermatological stress.
