The maximum evaporative potential of constant wear immersion suits influences the risk of excessive heat strain for helicopter aircrew.
The heat exchange properties of aircrew clothing including a Constant Wear Immersion Suit (CWIS), and the environmental conditions in which heat strain would impair operational performance, were investigated. The maximum evaporative potential (im/clo) of six clothing ensembles (three with a flight s...
