Influence on asymmetrical thermal insulation Tibetan robe on human thermal comfort

This paper made use of the Tibetan robe to research the influence of asymmetrical wearing mode on the thermal comfort of human body. The experiment was conducted by means of the thermal manikin evaluation system,change of wearing modes such as from asymmetrical to symmetrical,and objective and subjective evaluation. The experimental results indicated that,due to the physiological adjustment of the body itself,the temperature on the skin and thermal feeling on the unexposed body parts varied with wearing mode. Compared with the symmetrical wearing mode,the asymmetrical one made the temperature on the skin of the wearer rise with a small margin and the hot or cold feeling of the wearer change a little. The testers have a colder feeling on the exposed arms after the symmetrical wearing mode than after the asymmetrical one.
