Sex-related differences in clothing-microclimate and subjective perceptions while wearing two outdoor jackets during submaximal exercise in a cool environment

Test rooms to study human comfort in buildings: A review of controlled experiments and facilities

“…9a. Fundamental studies include research focusing on a variety of different aspects influencing human thermal comfort such as thermal adaptation [78][79][80][81][82], thermal acclimatization [83][84][85][86], increased air velocity [87][88][89][90], relative humidity [60,[91][92][93][94], gender [95][96][97][98], age [52,[99][100][101][102], transient thermal conditions [93,[103][104][105][106][107], perceived control [108], and the influence of emotional states [109,110]. About 30% of the thermal experiments are dedicated to the study of non-uniform thermal conditions.…”

Develop an optimal daily washing care for technical jacket by balancing washing efficiency and functional degradation

“…[1][2][3] Meanwhile, the outdoor environment belongs to the co-existing environment of the ash, mud, oil and other stains, and thus outdoor clothing easily absorbs various kinds of stains in the process of daily use. [4][5][6] Moreover, the production and R&D (research and development) cost of outdoor clothing was also relatively high because of resisting the external harsh environment. 4,7,8 Additionally, if the stain deposited on surface of clothing did not be removed in time, it was not only easy to occur the protective function of outdoor clothing declining, but also easily breed bacteria and even harm the human body.…”

“…1,6,7 In addition, because of excellent wind-proof, water-proof and warm performance, technical jacket has become the first choice of consumers for outdoor activities. 5 Therefore, in our presented work, taking the commonly used fabric of technical jacket as the research object, the relationship between daily washing conditions and waterproof, windproof, warmth, appearance morphology of technical jacket was systematically investigated. Additionally, in this study, we not only in particular to examine the extent of the effects of daily washing conditions (washing mode, washing parameters, type and dosage of detergent) on the functional performance of technical jacket, but also systematically analyzed the damage behaviors and damage formation mechanism due to daily washing.…”

Analysis of clothing microclimate conditions for lower body part workwear dedicated for motor impaired employees

“…The analysis and assessment of the conditions in the sub-clothing microclimate during physical effort is the subject of many research studies [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The influence of gender on thermal comfort sensation and moisture transport outside the sub-clothing zone [21] was assessed on the basis of temperature, humidity and sweat output in the sub-clothing microclimate and comfort level.…”

“…The analysis and assessment of the conditions in the sub-clothing microclimate during physical effort is the subject of many research studies [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The influence of gender on thermal comfort sensation and moisture transport outside the sub-clothing zone [21] was assessed on the basis of temperature, humidity and sweat output in the sub-clothing microclimate and comfort level. It was found that for the women participating in the study, despite the lower recorded values of humidity, the amount of sweat produced indicated a lower level of perceived comfort than men, while reaching the state of thermal equilibrium faster after the end of physical effort.…”
