Study on the Heat Insulation Property of Down Jackets in Relation to Down Content

Based on the heat transferring theory in the human-clothing-environment system, the heat insulation property and changing pattern of down jackets in relation to its down content is mainly dealt with. By the heated-manikin testing and the mathematical analysis to the testing data, the existence of the optimum down content is found. Furthermore the reason and mechanism of the relation between down content and clothing's heat insulation property are explained.
