WHAT IS THERMAL COMFORT?
Thermal comfort is defined as the thermal sensation experienced by the user in relation to the overall thermal balance of their body. Technically, an individual is considered to be thermally comfortable when there is a balance between the heat produced by the body and the different forms of heat dissipation. This balance depends on the activity the individual is engaged in, and the temperature, humidity, air speed, surrounding radiant temperature and clothing.
Different parameters influence thermal comfort, preventing the clothing itself from generating heat or cold stress situations in the individual.
WHAT PROPERTIES DEFINE THE THERMAL COMFORT OF A GARMENT OR FABRIC?
The thermoregulatory properties of a fabric depend on the composition, weight, structure and finishes. According to CEN/TR, the European technical guide, which classifies the thermoregulatory properties of fabrics for use in garments:
> Thermal resistance
> Resistance to water vapour and moisture transport
> Air permeability
> Resistance to water penetration and repellence
