Clothes are materials that protect the human body both in daily life and working conditions. With the
developing textile technology, there are products for almost every environmental condition. It is important to evaluate the
thermophysical properties of textile products in real-life conditions. It is seen that products with high insulation properties
not only have their heat conduction properties but also the air gaps in the skin-clothing interaction are important in reallife conditions. Therefore, the measurement of air gaps is important in obtaining the correct insulation values. While air
gaps up to a certain thickness provide insulation, after a certain point, it shows conductive properties with the effect of
natural convection. Human skin exposed to high temperature and heat flux under dangerous working conditions has a
critical protection time. This period also depends on the thermophysical properties of the suit and environmental
conditions. Not all parts of the human body show the same thermal properties. Changes in the insulation properties of
the suit while in motion or at rest play an important role in choosing the right suit by affecting thermal comfort. For this
reason, thermal properties should be tested by simulating real-life conditions. For energy saving, making local heating
and cooling mechanisms from the right regions contributes to energy saving by increasing thermal efficiency. The
detection of these regions varies according to different physical conditions.
