The influence of knitting structures of men’s socks on thermophysiological comfort in dynamic conditionsTasić, Predrag (Avtor) Trajković, Dušan (Avtor) Geršak, Jelka (Avtor) socksthermal propertiesrib constructionsphysiological propertiescomfortThe influence of environmental conditions on the thermophysiological comfort of men’s socks with different knitting structures was investigated using an objective evaluation of comfort in dynamic conditions. Men’s socks made in three knitting structures – R22, R31 and R71 rib constructions with the same raw material composition were used: bamboo yarn, filament polyamide yarn and wrapped elastomeric yarn for the sock welt. The influenceof climate factors artificially generated in the climate chamber was analysed by measuring three physiological parameters: skin temperature, relative humidity on the skin’s surface and temperature of the microclimate between socks and shoes. The results of the research indicate that the knitting structures of socks have a significant impact on their thermophysiological comfort. For an ambient temperature of 20°C and a relative humidity of 50% (autumn and spring conditions), preference is given to socks with R22 construction.INCDTP20262026-03-20 11:07:53Članek v reviji97574sl
