Abstract:

To improve thermal comfort and leg mobility while moped cycling, a novel protective clothing was developed using high-performance materials and adopting a two-piece style and a multi-opening structure. Based on the wearing trials, the new thermal protective clothing was compared with an existing wind-proof clothing. The thermal protective performance of the clothing was tested through skin temperature measurement and subjective feeling evaluation in a cold environment of 5 ℃ and 50% relative humidity. The ergonomics of the clothing was evaluated by visual analogue scale. The experimental results show that the mean skin temperature when wearing the novel thermal protective clothing was significantly higher than that of the wind-proof clothing during cycling, and the subjective thermal sensation and thermal comfort were significantly improved compared to the wind-proof clothing. The design of trousers using the novel thermal protective clothing affected the convenience of donning and doffing, but significantly improved the leg mobility, which is more suitable for cycling moped with foot pedals.

Key words: moped, thermal protective clothing, cycling clothing, cold protection, human wearing trial
