“…This has motivated a number of studies on characterizing and optimizing thermal properties of such headgear (Fonseca, 1974;Reischl, 1986;Spaul et al, 1987;Abeysekera et al, 1991;Liu and Holmer, 1995;Liu, 1997;Liu et al, 1999;Hsu et al, 2000;Holland et al, 2002;Brühwiler, 2003;De Bruyne et al, 2008). As a result, headgear improvement concepts were proposed to improve temperature perception and thermal comfort (Abeysekera and Shahnavaz, 1988;Holland et al, 2002).…”
