Is Polyester Breathable? The Science Behind How It Feels
Breathability is influenced by more than the fiber name: air permeability, water-vapor transfer, fabric structure and garment design all matter. Experimental research finds that higher air and water-vapor permeability can lower clothing microclimate temperature and humidity.
