A Human Factors Evaluation of an Experimental Reversible Extreme Cold Weather Clothing Ensemble
A human factors evaluation was performed on an experimental two- component reversible extreme cold weather clothing ensemble (parka and trousers) . The garments tested had been improved following recommendations of an earlier feasibility test; all of the improvements introduced were judged to be com...
