Evaporation of the body sweat is the main mechanism of heattransfer from human body to surrounding media. During this evaporation process wetting of garments is inevitable, as a result of which comfort function of garments is adversely affected. In this work experimental nonwoven fibrous layers using hydrophilic natural and hydrophobic man-made fibres were prepared. An apparatus incorporating a domestic water atomizer capable of simultaneous stimulation of heat transfer and evaporation of moisture by human skin was designed and built. Collected data were used for evaluation of heat and moisture transfer phenomena through the samples. Modelling of transfer phenomena was achieved by determination of transfer coefficient, using numerical solution technique. Factors affecting heat transfer and moisture evaporation of experimental samples together with their contribution, using statistical methods with aim of achieving high level of comfort were defined. It was found that, cotton and viscose exhibit the highest heat and moisture transfer ability. Moisture and heat transfer coefficient of cotton and viscose were found to be53.41560×10 -10 , 11.23140 × 10 -6 and 0 10 , 6.195380×10 - respectively.
