| Abstract |
Claims that certain "thin" polyolefin clothing insulating materials possess superior insulating capabilities (due to their extremely fine fibres) are disproved by a comparative study of such materials and others (down and polyester). The tests demonstrate that such claims can be made for any thin insulation. |
