A multi-layered woven component and method is disclosed. The multi-layered woven component comprising a first side adapted to be in contact with a skin surface of a user, the first side comprising a plurality of yarns of a first type and a plurality of yarns of a second type. The plurality of yarns of the first type in the first side predominates the plurality of yarns of the second type in the first side. Further, a second side opposite to the first side, the second side comprising at least a portion of the plurality of yarns of the second type. Further, the first side of the multi-layered woven component is woven with the second side of the multi-layered woven component to facilitate transfer of moisture from the first side of the multi-layered woven component to the second side of the multi-layered woven component.
