The purpose of this research was to explore the effects of textile properties on the
microclimate inside caps and on subjective wearing sensations. Physical tests on heat and
moisture transfer properties of cap fabrics were conducted, as well as tests on the
sensations from subjects wearing the caps. The temperature and humidity inside caps were
influenced by the thickness, moisture retention properties, water absorption properties, and
thermal conductivity of cap fabrics. High water absorbency property was the most important
factor in lowering the temperature inside caps. Air permeability and water vapor
transmission rate did not affect the microclimate. It seemed to be difficult for air or water
vapors to move from the skin to the outer environment because the hair was densely packed
between the skin and the cap, forming a stable air layer. Thermal sensation and thermal
comfort were influenced by the thickness, water absorption properties, thermal conductivity,
and Qmax of fabrics. Subjective sensations were closely related to the temperature inside
caps. In the temperature range of 30 to 33°C, no change in wearing sensation was found. In
the temperature range above 33°C, however, subjects started feeling uncomfortable.
