Designing thermal agile mannequin to measure comfort parameter in simulated high altitude environment.

Description

Objective assessment of functional parameters of clothing ensemble at high altitude, to excel in designing and production of high-altitude garments. Moisture transport, thermal insulation and their interaction influence both the comfort and protective properties of clothing systems. Depending on the environmental conditions and clothing design, wind and repetitive body movements can increase the transport of heat and moisture away from the body. Thus, a thermal manikin designed to test clothing realistically, particularly under extreme conditions, should be able to sweat and perform such movement.
