Effect of Measured Heat Loss through Turnout Materials on Firefighter Comfort and Heat Stress. Part II: Performance in a Warm Environment

Source

This research studied the relationship between heat transfer measured using a guarded sweating hot plate test method and the actual comfort and heat stress performance of firefighter turnout clothing. Part 2 in this series discusses the results of a study that examines correlations between turnout material breathability and heat stress performance in a warm environment.
