Abstract
Warp knitted mesh fabric was usually applied to sportswear due to good air transmission, but without multilayer structure and one-way transport property. In order to solve this problem, the miss-lapping structure was applied to examine the possibility to fabricate multilayer and improve water transport in warp knitting structure. Besides, the effect of thread type and warp density on comfort properties were also exploited to enhance the moisture management. The moisture management test, water vapor permeability and air permeability were examined. Long float at the back side in structure I formed by miss-lapping could improve liquid transport and air permeability, but slightly reduce water vapor permeability. With proper density, there existed the optimal one-way transport capacity and overall moisture management. Warp density in 20 cpc was an optimal parameter of knitting process. Taking advantage of miss-lapping, sample 5 where polypropylene was partly threaded on GB1 provided best moisture management, water vapor permeability and air permeability.

Summary
Personal and wearable thermal and moisture regulating products were developed to improve the comfort. The environmental temperature decreased to 14 °C and 12 °C, subjects’ thermal sensation for both feet and overall were increased significantly when local heating was supplied (Du et al, 2020). The moisture management property of fabrics significantly affected the moisture diffusion and temperature distributions in the cold protective clothing systems, and influenced the thermal and moisture sensations (Wang, 2007). The cotton-wool blended fabric with overall moisture management capability at 0.86 significantly improved the clothing system which contained 4 garment layers and total 9 fabrics. A double‐sided synergetic Janus textile was developed, featuring reversible diode‐like water transportation and adjustable thermal convection upon temperature change (Wang et al, 2020). Multi-scaled, inter-connected hierarchical fibrous membranes for directional moisture transport was
