“…To reduce the health risks caused by hazardous heat environments, microclimate cooling technologies have been developed to enhance the heat exchange between the human body and the environment. Non-electric cooling strategies, which do not require a power supply system [17][18][19], can be divided into three main types: ice cooling [20], PCMs cooling [21], and radiation cooling [22].…”

Thermal comfort is of critical importance to people during hot weather or harsh working conditions to reduce heat stress. Therefore, personal cooling garments (PCGs) is a promising technology that provides a sustainable solution to provide direct thermal regulation on the human body, while at the same time, effectively reduces energy consumption on whole-building cooling. This paper summarizes the current status of PCGs, and depending on the requirement of electric power supply, we divide the PCGs into two categories with systematic instruction on the cooling materials, working principles, and state-of-the-art research progress. Additionally, the application fields of different cooling strategies are presented. Current problems hindering the improvement of PCGs, and further development recommendations are highlighted, in the hope of fostering and widening the prospect of PCGs.
