The 2014 conference of the International Sports Engineering Asso ciation Influence of weari ng impact protective garment on thermophysiological comfort of the wearer

In this study one commercially available hip impact protective g arment was evaluated in terms of thermo -physiological wear comfort, namely Dry Thermal Resistance, Evaporative Resistance and Permeability Index. Objective evaluation of thermal characteristic of this hip impact protective garment is carried out by means of a Thermal Manikin. The i mpact protective garment was evaluated in ensemble with other garments.
