The effects of cold weather clothing systems on microclimate

Purpose. Determination of the influence of cold on the parameters of the inner-clothing space of warfighter winter kits in controlled conditions with the participation of people. Methodology. Comparative testing of the influence of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the upper layer of the warfighter winter kit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (norm number 1) with the participation of people. Findings. The influence of the pieces of the upper layer of the warfighter winter kit on the parameters of the inner-clothing space in the conditions of the cold is analyzed. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the dependence of the parameters of the inner-clothing space (temperature and relative humidity) on the structure of the material packages of the pieces of the upper layer of standard winter warfighter winter kits of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (norm number 1) with the use of a wireless body area network in cold with the participation of people was investigated and established. Practical value. Basic indices of the winter space kit inner space for the comparative tests on the improvement of the pieces of the upper protective layer are obtained. The results of the research are important for predicting the maximum time of a warfighter comfortable state and optimizing the quantitative composition of sensors in the WBAN
