A Contribution to the Investigation of Workwear Comfort

Abstract Contemporary high level of accordance with warious activities they are used in, as good thermophysiological properties as possible. This requirement is especially important for workwear. Workwear in contemporary industrial processes has a protective, functional aesthetic role to perform, so a growing amount of attention is being paid to the investigations of workwear comfort. Factors influencing garment wear comfort in general have been given, together with the methods of their exact measuring and quantificatin. Experimental parts presents the method for measuring temperature and heat flux at various points of human body and article of clothing. Results obtained in real working conditions have been presented for a worker dressed in gowns made from fabrics of various raw material compositions. The results indicate the importance of proper choice of raw material composition and fabric construction parameters in deciding which fabric is to be used for manufacturing worker.
