This report compares the thermal performance of two experimental flame-resistant (FR) battings (82% P84/18% polyester and 75% Curlon (r)/25% polyester) constructed into prototype combat vehicle crewman (CVC) cold weather jackets with the standard jacket, which uses Nomex(r) batting. Prototype jackets were tested on a thermal mannequin along with the standard CVC cold weatherjackets, both before and after laundering. The prototype jackets containing these experimental battings exhibited comparable thermal properties to the standard and exhibited little, if any, weight reduction in the overall garment weight.
