Plaited jersey fabrics are always engineered to enhance the thermal conductivity characteristics, providing thermal equilibrium among the wearer and clothing during hot weather. These can also be architected with higher thermal resistance/heat insulation characteristics and is a crucial area of interest; however there isn't any significant literature reporting this. The study focuses on developing plaited jersey gloves using Thermolite®, acrylic, and wool yarns in alternative main and plaiting configurations for winterwear. Thermal characterizations were conducted to ascertain heat and mass transfer properties, such as fluid transmission and thermal resistance. Infrared (IR) imaging visualized heat retention in terms of temperature gradients. Mechanical characteristics, such as pilling and bursting, were assessed to determine the gloves durability to physical abrasions and stresses. Thermolite® knitted gloves possessed superior heat and mass transfer properties with improved fluid transmission and thermal resistance. Infrared imaging revealed highest body temperature rise of 34.43oC for Thermolite®, and mechanical properties were also found adequate. Fluid transfer (air permeability) was acquired highest for wool samples (1770 mm/sec); however, Thermolite® exhibited 28% lower air permeability than wool, validating its heat retention. Thermolite® knits with the lowest areal density of 226 g/m2 and the smoothest Thermolite® surface had the highest OMMC (overall moisture management capacity) index of 0.46 due to generated capillaries. The statistical analysis of the characterization data indicated the significance (p -value <0.05) of the main and plating yarns, proving the plaiting a solution to achieve desired heat and mass transfer characteristics.
