Effect of Material Characterization and Garment Fit on Regional Thermal Insulation

Infrared thermography is a non-destructive measuring method for the determination of temperature distribution on the surface of objects that is widely applied in almost all branches of human activity. The aim of the research is to use thermography to observe influences of different material characteristic and different garment fit on lower body thermal comfort. Thermal images of garments are obtained in two different temperature environments – moderate (t = 22°C) and cold (t = 2°C). The results indicated significant differences between surface temperatures of loose and tight models in both thermal environments. The highest difference is observed for the zone of upper shin. The results of thermographic measurements confirmed importance of material characteristics in the preservation of thermal comfort
