perspiration , in most mammals, water given off by the intact skin, either as vapour by simple evaporation from the epidermis ( insensible perspiration) or as sweat , a form of cooling in which liquid actively secreted from sweat glands evaporates from the body surface. (britannica.com)

Temperature4
A comparison was made of the local sweat rates from the forearm and their related physiological parameters between polyester (E) and cotton (C) clothing at an ambient temperature (Ta) of 37 degrees C. Six female students, aged from 21 to 28 years, served as subjects. (nih.gov)
2) Clothing surface temperatures at the chest level were significantly higher in C than in E. (3) The positive relationship between local sweat rates and mean skin temperature (Tsk) existed both in E and in C. However, the local sweat rates were mostly higher in E under the influences of the same Tsk. (nih.gov)
