Abstract
The effects and requirements of cold-protective clothing for human thermoregulation and thermal balance are considered. Material properties are discussed and the role and function of different clothing layers for regulating thermal comfort and avoiding thermal stress are examined. Protecting extremities is shown to pose particular problems, in particular when there is light physical activity. Some applications of cold protection are described and the legislation and standards required to ensure the safety of users are reviewed. Future trends for cold-protective clothing are discussed, including a variety of smart solutions and how several protective properties can be combined in clothing.
