Protective clothing thermal burden

J-FIRE consists of a chemical/biological protective mask and the JSLIST ensemble program. J-FIRE reduces the thermal burden placed on the firefighter when operating in proximity clothing... 

One of crucial requirements on protective clothing is that, while not compromise the ultimate protection of wearer, they need to address the thermal burden caused by the metabolic heat and moisture produced by human body enclosed in the protective clothing ensembles. Various high performance materials and functional textile structures are incorporated into protective clothing to reduce these thermo-physiological burdens, and a few examples of such functional materials and textile structures are discussed in this section.
