| Abstract |
Exercise tests carried out in a climate chamber to determine the thermal insulation properties and water-vapour permeability of 4 fabrics. Values measured: skin temperature, body temperature, weight loss, water-vapour pressure gradient, oxygen intake. Subjective comfort depended on water-vapour permeability. The lower the resistance to this permeability, the wider the possibilities of using the waterproofed clothing. |
