Evaluation of High-altitude Climbing Boots from the Viewpoint of Clothing Microclimate
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.10 Vol.10】
Wear-tests of high-altitude climbing boots were carried out in the artificial climatic chamber under the ambient temperature of -20°C. The tested samples were four natural leather boots and four plastic boots. The measured items were: the temperature and the water vapor pressure of the microclimate in the boots, heat flow through the boots and the change of the boots weight. The thermal sensation of the foot was voted.
The group of natural leather boots showed smaller overall coefficient of heat transmission and higher temperature in the boots than the group of plastic boots. The natural leather boots showed better water vapor transfer property than the plastic boots.
