Moisture management in clothing is defined as the transfer of moisture from human body to the
environment through the clothing [1]. Water vapour and liquid water (perspiration) need to get away
from the human body to outside to keep the body dry. This action should happen immediately to have
the maximal comfort of clothing usage. The aim of work was to investigate the liquid moisture transport
in the knitted fabrics for babies and children clothing. Three variants of fabrics were the objects of the
investigations. Measurement of the properties characterizing the liquid moisture transport in fabrics have
been performed by means of the M290 Moisture Management Tester (SDL Atlas) [1,2]. Fabrics were
tested in the relaxed and stretched state. Stretching of fabrics was realized by using the MMT Stretch
Fabric Fixture device [3]. The percentage of stretch was adjusted at 15 %. On the basis of the results the
knitted fabrics were compared in the aspect of their ability to ensure a physiological comfort. Influence
of stretching on the parameters characterizing the liquid moisture transport in the fabrics was statistically
analyzed and discussed.
