Thermal insulating capabilities of outdoor clothing materials
Journal Article
·
· Science (Washington, D.C.); (United States)
A single heat transfer measurement technique was used to determine the thermal insulating capabilities of four materials used in outdoor clothing--goose down, wool, polyester, and polyolefin. It was found that all provide very similar degrees of insulation.
