Microporous membranes and sweat/condensation

[Inaki Diaz de Etura]

When for whatever the reason the breathability in a garment’s microporous membrane gets overwhelmed and sweat starts condensing on the inside, does this further (negatively) affect the membrane’s ability to pass vapour? Does it make any sense to think that condensed sweat may block the pores in the membrane? Would there be any difference between 2 or 3 ply fabrics in this regard? Any difference between 2 ply fabrics with or without a mesh liner?
