This study is conducted to examine the heat/moisture transport properties and wearing performance of hightech fabrics for comfortable sportswear which have several factors such as fiber type, fiber content, yarn number; yarn density, weaves and areal weight by means of KES--F system measuring device with 15 kinds of fabrics in which the thermal properties included the basic mechanical properties. And also the moisture transport properties were measured by standard test method. Finally, we have obtained useful specification for fabrication the quickly wick perspiration/drying high-tech fabrics for comfortable sportswear. (1) The specially-engineered polyester fibers used in woven fabrics (brushed fabric and normal fabrics) transport perspiration away from body to the surface of the garment, where it can evaporate quickly.At the same time, fabric dries quickly. Fabric can be machine-washed and retain it's shape for long time. (2) Developed fabric (#PK-3) is a new type of specialty knitted fabric. It has a double-layer construction consisting of a dry layer and a moisture absorbing layer, and offers perspiration absorption and transpiration properties that are ideal for sports activities in which the wearer perspires heavily. During and after exercise, perspiration is quickly wicked to the outside, leaving the skin always feeling dry and comfortable
