Field Trial of an Experimental Cold-Weather Head Protector.
Abstract
An experimental head-protection system, subjected to limited testing during the 1974 winter, was modified and field tested during Exercise Honky Tonk at Fort Churchill, Manitoba in January 1975. The modified headgear was found to provide complete protection against frostbite and to prevent spectacle frosting under extreme wind-chill conditions. Under milder conditions or during physical activity, the headgear was found to be too warm and spectacle frosting occurred. The modifications made to the headgear are discussed with respect to their effect on its performance. Recommendations are made for further modifications to correct problems encountered during the tests.
