The effect of wind and radiation on heat strain in black and reflective clothing - human wear trial results (Work package 1, Question 1.5)

In the present experiment a number of issues will be studied relating to the above: • For Black versus Reflective Clothing, how is the heat strain affected by the garment material • Is the effect of radiation studied in the manikin test significant when tested on humans • Is the effect of wind studied in the manikin test significant when tested on humans • Is the combined effect of radiation and wind studied in the manikin test significant when tested on humans For this purpose, Black and Reflective outer garments are tested in a number of combinations of wind and radiation while worn by human subjects. Physiological responses will be studied and compared.
