Description
Małgorzata Matusiak and co-authors test in 2024 how liquid sweat moves through firefighter clothing layers paired with underwear. A firefighter's outfit blocks heat and hazards, but those same layers trap sweat, which can condense on the skin and sap comfort and focus. The study asks which fabric pairings carry that liquid best.
Sixteen assemblies combined four underwear knits with four protective multilayer sets. A moisture management tester tracked liquid spread through each stack. The knits moved liquid well on their own. In the protective sets, sweat travel stayed mostly in the inner layer next to the skin, barely crossing the outer barriers. Pairing the right knit with the right inner layer lifted total transport. The findings give gear makers a practical way to tune comfort without giving up protection.
