Abstract

A composite textile fabric for rapidly moving moisture away from the skin is provided. The composite fabric includes an inner fabric layer made of a yarn comprising a plurality of fibers primarily of polyester which has been rendered hydrophilic, and an outer fabric layer made of a yarn comprising a plurality of fibers primarily of polyester which has also been rendered hydrophilic. The inner fabric layer and the outer fabric layer are formed concurrently by knitting a plaited construction so that the layers are distinct and separate, yet integrated one with the other.
