with protocols involving males exposed to prolonged wet and windy environments [1]. No
attention has been paid to discomfort associated with the different phases of recreational hiking
in non-adverse conditions. The present study was designed to evaluate overall and local thermal
strain during a typical hiking scenario and to highlight potential differences between males and
females. This knowledge can be of practical importance for improved clothing requirements
