Lately developments of water absorbent synthetic fibers have become of general interest and the related reports are increasing. In this paper the properties of transmission of water in the related fabrics were estimated from the sliding resistance and the heat flow, the methods of which were derived in the past. It was suggested that water absorption of porous synthetic fiber, the blended of porous synthetic fiber and cotton fiber or the double layer of cotton and polyester contributed to the physical factors of comfort.
