Özet
In recent years, new special fabric types and high-performance fiber and yarn types have been developed especially for sportswear to meet increasing consumer expectations. Besides aesthetic and design, performance and clothing comfort are also important characteristics for these types of functional garments. A ‘‘good’’ active sportswear needs to have four main functions according to end use: protection against bad weather conditions, high thermal insulation, breathability and elasticity. Apart from all other sportswear, cycling clothes need to have protection against external environmental conditions and to achieve high thermal comfort since cycling is an outdoor sport and requires high physical activity level. As general; the expectations from cycling clothes are that perfect moisture management, high breathability, quick drying, lightweight, wind resistance, high aerodynamic performance, ultraviolet light protection and antibacterial effect. In this study, thermal comfort properties of four types of fabrics that are used in cycling clothing for summer and winter were investigated. Within this scope, the significant thermal comfort parameters such as thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity, relative water vapor permeability and air permeability were tested and effects of sewing process on thermal comfort properties were examined by the evaluation of the results according to the end use.
