Theory 078/Textiles & Fibres
Comfort Is a Transport Ratio
The claim
Fabric comfort is set by the ratio of moisture regain to transport rate, so a high-regain fibre that transports slowly feels clammy.
01The mechanism
Comfort depends on whether moisture moves away faster than it accumulates; regain sets capacity but transport sets rate.
02Predictions
- P1Comfort should track the ratio.
- P2High regain alone should not guarantee comfort.
03Refutation
Comfort tracking regain would remove the transport term.
