Abstract
The property of water vapor transmission is of high importance for textile products, especially for sportswear products. The objective of the present study is to investigate the properties of water vapor transmission of some sportswear products (OUDIKE, NIKE and an unknown brand bought from the boutique) on the market. It was found that the samples bought from boutique showed the best water vapor transmission properties, while this property for NIKE sportswear samples was the lowest.
