Abstract
Enormous research has focused on the analysis of garment wear-comfort using clothing pressure; however,
optimization of clothing pressure based garment comfort has remained elusive. In this context, we propose a new method to
optimize cycling clothes’ patterns based on the difference of static-to-dynamic clothing pressure (DSDCP). Firstly, we
mapped 53 measuring points on an upper cycling garment on which we measured garment pressures in both static and
dynamic conditions. We then analyzed DSDCP to find the rightful garment patterns to adjust according to the analyzed
results. A garment optimization degree (OD) is proposed to carry out a quantitative analysis for garment comfort
optimization. Finally, two upper cycling garments were made according to the original patterns and optimized patterns. A
comparative analysis through cyclist wear trials of the cycling garments to test the optimization effect was done. Results
show that our proposed method improves dynamic wear comfort significantly. Moreover, the optimized upper cycling
garment, offers additional improvement of dynamic wear comfort.
