Clothing Protection for the Warfighter
Abstract
Uniforms/protective clothing do not provide comfortable and/or adequate protection for the Warfighter in threat areas such as, thermal/flame, adverse environmental conditions (e.g., heat, cold, rain/snow, water immersion), hazardous chemicals, and physical trauma (hearing, vibration, blunt force, etc.). Further, the physical properties of current uniform items need improvement in the areas of color retention (e.g., reduce fading) and comfort (e.g., reduce weight and optimize moisture management while minimizing care).
