Abstract

The implications of the results of spectral reflectance measurements reported are considered for thermal protection and comfort of clothing worn by fire fighters. Data have been presented to properly assess the radiative heating load on fire fighters' clothing. For good thermal protection from fires, the coat samples examined showed that color had a small effect on reducing the radiative heating load on the coat, and that soiled or wet clothing would negate any color effect entirely.
