| Abstract | INTRODUCTION A valuable means of understanding how clothing may affect heat stress is to quantify the resistance to dry and evaporative heat exchange. Wear tests in a controlled laboratory environment provide an opportunity to evaluate complete ensembles in a realistic situation without introducing the confounding factors of an uncontrolled environment and metabolic rate. Kenney et al. (1) proposed a wear test method that relied on progressive increases in heat stress to an inflection point where the required rate of evaporative cooling matched the maximum rate that can be supported by the combination of clothing and environment. At the inflection point, Equation 1 is true. |
