faster than what was measured with subjects. The differences in the mean skin temperature<br />

curves suggest that the model is not sensitive enough for extreme cold conditions. The<br />

clothing interface of the model needs to consider the specific thermal variables in the cold<br />

protective clothing (ventilation, thermal inertia).<br />
