human being.

Heat balance is important for good comfort.

FABRIC PROPERTIES FOR THERMAL COMFORT

Insulation

Wind proofing

Moisture vapors permeability

Water proofing

CLOTHING INSULATION

Clothing layers can prevent heat loss and possibly lead to overheating.

Type of material in the clothing may decrease the insulating ability.

WIND PROOFING

Comfort temperature for unclothed body

is lower than skin temperature.

MOISTURE VAPOUR PERMEABILITY

When body losses heat, temperature starts to rise.

Heat the body by evaporating the moisture from the skin.

WATER PROOFING

Clothing system should dry when cold season.

Comfort is achieved through Nano technology and micro encapsulation technic.
