The degree to which a fabric, coating or laminate allows moisture vapor to pass through its construction.

The ability of a fabric, coating or laminate to transfer water vapour from one of its surfaces through the material to the other surface. See also moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR).

Refers to air flowing through the pores of a fabric.

The ability of the upper to transpire, thereby ventilating the foot.
