Local thermal resistance can provide more and detailed information about the thermal properties of clothing such as higher thermal resistance at the torso, and hence a more accurate and thorough evaluation of the heat strain for users. It should always be reported and considered for better evaluation and modeling of the heat stress in CPC, and for the design and development of next generation CPC with higher protection and less <a name="OLE_LINK67">compromised </a>thermal comfort. </span></spanstyle='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"calibri",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:simsun;mso-bidi-font-family:"times>
