Conclusion
Thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity and air permeability are affected from tightness factor significantly. The looser fabrics possess high insulation and high air permeability values, also give warmer feelings. The comfort test results indicate that the fabrics knitted using C Type yarns have the highestair permeability besides better thermal resistance values and they give warmer feeling with lower absorptivity values. On the other hand A and B Type fabrics have similar thermal comfort properties with better relative water vapor permeability [1].
Measuring parameters

Fabric Thickness was measured under specified pressure of 20 gf/cm2 by using Essdiel thickness tester. Fabric Weight per Unit Area by cutting and weighing of fabric Air Permeability was measured by TEXTEST Air permeability Tester (FX3300) Alambeta was used to measure:
Thermal conductivity Thermal absorptivity Thermal diffusivity Thermal resistance Qmax Sample thickness

Conclusion [2]
1. Fabrics developed from EliTe compact yarns
thinner and better air permeability as compared made from normal yarns. Fabrics developed from EliTe yarns have higher
values of thermal conductivity, thermal absorptivity, and qmax as compared to the fabrics developed from normal yarns where as the thermal resistance values are lowe
slightly lesser values of MVTR than the fabrics made from EliTe compact yarns. show better wickability than the fabrics made from normal yarns except for fabric samples A and D.
EliTe compact yarns in the fabrics, then we find that the EliTe yarns has certainly proved to be beneficial to improve the comfort of the cotton fabrics.[2]
