Thanks to the developments in the textile and ready-to-wear market, the expectations of individuals from clothing have changed and the concept of wearing comfort has gained importance. This concept has led to the replacement of fashionable clothing design and the production of good quality clothing by comfortable clothing design and production.
Wearing comfort is a subjective concept meaning that a person feels comfortable in clothing. Although the concept of feeling comfortable may vary from person to person, clothes protecting us against external factors such as heat, cold, and wind, and causing no annoyance such as itching, pain, stinging, and are suitable for our social environment, make us feel comfortable both psychologically and physiologically. The fact that the human body is in contact with any textile and ready-to-wear product during all day and night indicates the importance and necessity of wearing comfort.

It may be seen that both in Turkey and all over the world, some studies to increase wearing comfort have been carried out. These efforts to increase comfort also push manufacturers to find new raw materials and production methods.
Bamboo fiber is one of the fibers whose usage and popularity in textile and ready-to-wear is increasing rapidly and showing superior comfort and high performance properties. This study aims to contribute to the limited number of literature researches on the effect of bamboo woven fabric parameters on thermal comfort and thus wearing comfort.
