Abstract
This article introduces a new technique for the design and construction of manikins used for the assessment of thermal insulation clothing. In such a manikin, the skin is made of waterproof fabrics, and heated water circulates inside the body. This manikin is considerably cheaper to construct than any existing copper manikin and it can be easily used for routine tests for outdoor and military garments. Detailed considerations in the design and construction of such a fabric manikin are presented here.Keywords
