With the development of industry and global warming, passive radiative cooling textiles have recently drawn great interest owing to saving energy consumption and preventing heat-related illnesses. Nevertheless, existing cooling textiles often lack efficient sweat management capacity and wearable comfort under many practical conditions. Herein, a hierarchical cooling metafabric that integrates passive radiation, thermal conduction, sweat evaporation, and excellent wearable comfort is reported through an electrospinning strategy. The metafabric presents excellent solar reflectivity (99.7%, 0.3–2.5 µm) and selective infrared radiation (92.4%, 8–13 µm), given that the unique optical nature of materials and wettability gradient/micro-nano hierarchical structure design. The strong moisture-wicking effect (water vapor transmission (WVT) of 2985 g m−2 d−1 and directional water transport index (R) of 1029.8%) and high heat-conduction capacity can synergistically enhance the radiative cooling efficiency of the metafabric. The outdoor experiment reveals that the metafabric can obtain cooling temperatures of 13.8 °C and 19.3 °C in the dry and sweating state, respectively. Meanwhile, the metafabric saves ≈19.3% of annual energy consumption compared with the buildings with HAVC systems in Shanghai. The metafabric also demonstrates desirable breathability, mechanical strength, and washability. The cost-effective and high-performance metafabric may offer a novel avenue for developing next-generation personal cooling textiles.
