Abstract

A moisture-management garment having a moisture management panel constructed of a moisture management fabric which extends generally between a crotch area of the garment and a waist area of the garment. The moisture management panel includes a first fabric having an inner moisture transport fabric layer constructed of hydrophobic yarns for residing in skin contact during garment wear and an inner dispersal fabric layer constructed of hydrophilic yarns and positioned adjacent to the inner moisture transport layer to receive and disperse moisture transported to it by the inner moisture transport layer. A second fabric is provided having an outer moisture vaporization fabric layer constructed of hydrophobic yarns which is the outermost surface of the moisture management fabric during wear, and an outer moisture dispersal fabric layer constructed of hydrophilic yarns and positioned adjacent to the outer moisture vaporization layer. An intermediate wicking insert is positioned between the first and second fabrics and extends along the garment from the area of the crotch to the area of the waist to wick moisture from the area of the crotch towards the area of the waist of the garment.
