The clothing is not worn only for protecting the human body, but it helps to obtain comfort during high level activities or in unfavorable environmental conditions. Heat generated by the working human body in hot climate or high physical activity, which must be dissipated to the environment. Similarly, in the cold environment, the body is going to be shielded from cold feeling. Thermophysiological clothing comfort related to warmth and moisture transport behaviour of clothing. Good clothing helps to maintain body temperature during various level of physical activities and surrounding environmental condition. Therefore, some improved functional properties are desirable in the clothing. For clothing comfort, thermophysiological comfort properties of fabrics which are related to heat and moisture transport properties play very vital role. These properties can be introduced in the clothing by using various fibrous material and modifying the structure of yarns, fabrics and garments.
