Popis: Regarding current trends of textiles and clothing, it is possible to see the social change on a healthier lifestyle required by consumers as a growing demand. The product valorization combines properties as aesthetics, innovation, comfort and multifunctionality, which are a differentiating factor, considering fashionable and functional wool fabrics. To analyze this, comfort tests were made in tri-laminated fabrics with functional membranes, evaluating properties such as water penetration resistance, air permeability, heat and water vapor resistance and peel resistance, to achieve the optimum design of the tri-laminated fabrics considering the best comfort performance. The results obtained demonstrate a very positive evaluation for the consumer's needs, regarding the effect of functional membranes on tri-laminated fabrics with the application of wool fabrics. However, they differ from membrane to membrane. These results will be significant for the textile industry in the wool sector for the development of new products and new niche markets.
