To make clear the physiological effects of clothing on human body, we made experiments on clothing form which alter the loss or gain of body heat according to the surrounding temperature.
In this report, we present the results of an experiment in wear that the upward openings in winter gave effects on the skin temperature, the clothing climate, the moisture under clothes and the sublingual temperature. The subjects were put on sweaters with various opening conditions, i. e., turtle-neck and V-shaped neck collars, under the different surrounding temperatures and wind velocities, and the results were compared. Under the low surrounding temperature, difference of skin temperature due to the form of collars was remarkable near the opening part, especially at the throat. For the influence of wind, the loss of skin temperature was remarkable at the throat when V-shaped neck sweaters were taken in windy weathers.
By these results, the importance of adjustment of clothing conditions in cold and windly climate was proved.
