To provide a cloth which is comfortable when wearing and reduces sticky or chilling sensation when sweating heavily, such as while exercising for a long time.

A cloth is characterized in that the ratio between the specific surface area of the fibers allocated on the front side of a cloth and the specific surface area of the fibers allocated on the back side (front/back specific surface area proportion) is more than 1.00 but 4.00 or less, while the contact chilling sensation is 240 W/m2*°C or less when providing water of 200 g/m2, and the water absorbing time is 5 seconds or less.
