One was a typical clothing ensemble for outdoor workers in construction industry, which is referred to as REF (control).
They decreased the insulation of a typical clothing ensemble of outdoor workers in construction industries from 0.75 clo to 0.48 clo.
Measurements of environmental variables were taken at a number of locations near the subjects, each of whom wore a typical office clothing ensemble.
The effect of perspiration on clothing thermal insulation to dry heat transfer is not well understood, although it is widely speculated that perspiration reduces the thermal insulation as a result of wetting the clothing ensemble.
Dressing the nude manikin with thin-tight clothing ensemble reduces the peak velocity in the breathing zone from 0.205 m/s by 17%, and by 40% for thick-loose ensemble.
To evaluate the impact of each component of the personal protective equipment, eight clothing conditions were designed by removing one or several parts of the clothing ensemble (Table 1): Full PPE (14.9 kg in total mass of PPE), NoSCBA (7.8 kg), NoHelmet (13.6 kg), NoGloves (14.8 kg), NoBoots (12.8 kg), NoJP (11.7 kg), NoHGBS (11.4 kg), and Control (1.1 kg).
But shoes with thick rubber soles or squarish tips can age even the slickest, trendiest clothing ensemble.

This chapter discusses the thermal comfort of clothing ensembles.
There are 80 clothing ensembles as well as shoes and hats, from such designers as John Galliano, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.
It was found that clothing thermal insulation is reduced during perspiration and the amount of reduction varied from 2%to8%8% related to the water accumulation within clothing ensembles.
