In terms of temperature regulation, humans are considered tropical animals. Our Physiological and anatomical systems are 'designed' for life in moderate and warm environments. There, we can maintain our bodily functions, and especially thermoregulation, without artificial means. However, when temperature goes down below 20°C, we cannot sustain our body temperature in the long run without behavioural adjustments that include putting on dothing or using heated dwellings. In this context, dothing has allowed humanity to expand its habitat around the world and has had a positive influence on its development. Cold weather can be a potential hazard to human health, adversely affecting physiological functions, work performance and wellbeing. Designing suitable apparel for cold environments is therefore a complex task. Clothing can help control the temperature of the human body.
