Clothing fabric and clothes using the same

Abstract

Provided is a clothing fabric including through holes that pass through the fabric in a thickness direction, wherein the through holes are arranged along one direction of the fabric. A water-repellent or hydrophobic region is arranged at least at part of the fabric in contact with the through holes, and a hydrophilic region is are arranged at the other portions. A portion of the water-repellent or hydrophobic region may form groove portions. The clothes of the present invention include the above-described clothing fabric, wherein the through holes that pass through a portion of the fabric in a thickness direction are arranged along a direction of a wearer' height. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a clothing fabric and clothes using the same that can, while being water-absorbing, suppress formation of a film of a liquid even when the fabric is wet, ensure air permeability of the fabric, and always allow sweat on the skin to be evaporated on the body surface, thereby increasing the effective sweat amount, preventing exercise performance from being lowered, and allowing a person to wear the clothes with comfort even when sweating.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a clothing fabric and clothes using the same. More specifically, the invention relates to a clothing fabric and clothes using the same that can be worn with comfort even when sweating.BACKGROUND ART[0002]It is comfortable to wear clothes with countermeasures against sweating while participating in sweaty sports. In conventional clothes, a film of a liquid (sweat) is formed on a fabric surface in a wet state such as when a wearer is sweating, thereby lowering the air permeability, and inhibiting evaporation of sweat on the skin. This state leads to problems in which ineffective sweating increases, exercise performance is lowered due to an increase in the core body temperature, and the clothes become more uncomfortable. Conventional techniques are proposed such as those in Patent Documents 2 and 3 in which knitted fabrics are provided with meshes and those in Patent Documents 1 and 4 in which a water repellent is applied to mesh kn...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]According to the clothing fabric and the clothes using the same of the present invention, a water-repellent or hydrophobic region is arranged at least at part of the fabric in contact with the through holes, and a hydrophilic region is arranged at the other portions. Accordingly, moisture is likely to be transferred from the vicinity of the through holes to the hydrophilic region, and a film of a liquid is not formed in the vicinity of the through holes. That is to say, due to the synergistic effect of (1) a water-repellent or hydrophobic region being arranged at least at part of the fabric in contact with the through holes and (2) a hydrophilic region being arranged at the other portions, it is possible to provide a clothing fabric and clothes using the same that can suppress formation of a film of a liquid even when the fabric is wet, ensure air permeability of the fabric, and always allow sweat on the skin to be evaporated on the body surface, thereby increasing the effective sweat amount, preventing exercise performance from being lowered, and allowing a person to wear the clothes with comfort even when sweating.

Problems solved by technology

This state leads to problems in which ineffective sweating increases, exercise performance is lowered due to an increase in the core body temperature, and the clothes become more uncomfortable.
