Abstract
Continuing efforts to develop new firefighter protective clothing have resulted in an advanced prototype garment demonstrating improved dissipation of metabolic heat under laboratory exercise conditions. The performance of three variations of the advanced prototype design were compared to standard turn-out gear and tested for heat retention. Analysis of biophysical data obtained from four volunteer subjects revealed heat loss advantages associated with the innovative design and fabric characteristics of the prototype garment. Additional modifications and changes in the design were recommended.
