Abstract

Clothing is one of the most protective tools for human at extreme environment such as at altitude, in which both of temperature and air pressure are low. Therefore, design for clothing system at the altitude has been investigated through analytical models and human subjective experiments in terms of not only clothing science but also biometeorology. According to the works, it has been revealed that physiological responses and heat and mass transfer from human body surface to the ambient through the clothing are remarkably different at the attitude from those at the sea level. In addition, risk of hypothermia is higher at the altitude than at the sea level, because possibility of condensation in the clothing increases at the altitude. It can be noted that biometeorology is one of the important research fields for design of appropriate clothing as a protective tool.<br>
