A composite textile fabric for removing moisture from the skin is provided. The composite fabric includes an inner, first fabric layer comprising either a polyester, polypropylene, acrylic or nylon yam material which is naturally, or has been rendered, hydrophilic and an outer, second fabric layer incorporating either a moisture-absorbent material such as cotton or a synthetic yarn which has been rendered hydrophilic, or a combination thereof. The first and second fabric layers are formed concurrently by knitting a plaited construction. The second fabric layer, but not the first layer, is blended with synthetic fibers treated to have antimicrobial properties or the second fabric layer is treated with an anti-microbial paste. An elastomeric yarn material may be added to both layers so that the composite fabric is stretchable.
A composite textile fabric comprising a first fabric layer of a synthetic yarn which is or has been rendered hydrophilic and a second fabric layer of a yarn material selected from the group consisting of a moisture-absorbent yarn, or a synthetic yarn rendered hydrophilic, or a combination thereof;
A composite textile fabric comprising a first fabric layer of a synthetic yarn selected from the group consisting of polyester, acrylic and nylon, said synthetic yarn of said first fabric layer being naturally, or having been rendered, hydrophilic, and a second fabric layer having one of the following materials:
