	Extreme environment clothing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Extreme environment clothing normally refers to clothing for arctic or mountainous areas on land, although it is sometimes used for survival suits worn by mariners.
		The usual clothing is a parka and mittens, gaiters and booties.
		Dry suits are very similar to arctic clothing, except with a waterproof shell, and closed-cell flexible plastic foam for insulation and flotation.

	Clothing
		Clothing, even in warm weather, should cover the entire body and should be chosen for strength and durability.
		It is a good idea (although optional) to bring a change of under clothing, pants, a shirt and socks in the event they get wet (or become intolerable to wear).
		Above 65-70 degrees, the effect of wind-chill is usually negligible on the normal body covered with average riding clothing and the use of light or medium clothing is the order of the day.

	Clothing in the Self-System of Adolescents:
		Clothing is thus a medium by which the self is established and validated through an interactive two-way process involving purposeful presentation of the self and the perception of an actual or imagined response to the self by others.
		Clothing satisfaction was measured by constructing an index based on two measures: (a) affective evaluation of the clothing domain and (b) the self-anchoring ladder of satisfaction with clothing.
		Adolescents' satisfaction with clothing appears from this study to be dependent on two outcomes related to incorporating clothing with the self-that is, the extent to which clothing gives them a sense of personal competence and their ability to achieve the image of who they are through their clothing.

	Marines Ban Polyester Clothing In Iraq (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The ban on popular clothing from companies like Under Armour, CoolMax and Nike comes in the wake of concerns that a substantial burn risk is associated with wearing clothing made with these synthetic materials.
		For these reasons, Marines have been limited to wearing clothing made with these materials only while on the relatively safe forward operating bases and camps where encounters with fires and explosions are relatively low.
		When working in a low risk environment where exposure to flames or intense heat is minimal the high performance apparel can be an optimal option for staying cool in the Iraq heat.

		This is the most serious health problem caused by working in hot environments, and early recognition and treatment of it is critical.
		Wear loose-fitting clothing, take frequent breaks in a cool rest area, open windows and install fans, and get plenty of fluids (a cup of water every 20 minutes of so under extremely hot conditions).

	Nutrition Science & the Winter Olympics
		During exposure to a cold environment, the normal body temperature is maintained by increasing heat production and/or reducing the rate of heat loss (heat conservation).
		Heat conservation is accomplished behaviorally by adding clothing or physiologically by constricting the vessels that carry blood to the skin and to regions of the body such as the ears, feet, and hand.
		Clothing should be selected for comfort during the activity, after metabolic heat production has reached a steady-state.

		Although there is much literature concerned with the impact of weather on human mortality and well-being, it appears that the contributing researchers often disagree on the magnitude and specific nature of the impact, as well as on the role of acclimatiza tion.
		Temperature extremes (both hot and cold) appear to increase mortality, although there is disagreement about which sex, age group, or race seems most affected.

		With the rise of these concerns came an ambivalent attitude toward technology and the wealth it was producing: some said that human beings are destructive to the environment in direct proportion to their power.
		They also have the potential to reduce waste, especially hazardous waste, converting it to natural materials which do not threaten life." James Lovelock states that "The future could be good if we regain a sense of purpose and embrace the new industries based on information and nanotechnology.
		We could even retrieve those that had already been made and dispersed in the environment, since their exact number is known, along with which patch of ground each is patrolling.

	(( Natural Fiber Clothing )) Articles
		The primary needs of skin include; hydration, protection from too much sunlight, protection from extremes in temperature, and the capacity to ‘breathe’ naturally by means of exchange of temperature with the environment and by releasing surface moisture, or perspiration.
		Polyesters, acetates, latex, nylon and blends of these and other artificial fibers create an unnatural condensation of moisture on the inside surface of the fabric, and therefore on the surface of the skin, which is why we feel ‘sweaty’ sometimes when we wear them.
		Wearing clothing from cotton, organic cotton, hemp, linen/flax, silk, ramie, wool, rayon, tencel and/or blends of these fibers, is therefore a much more healthy and more comfortable choice (which may sometimes require proper layering in extreme weather conditions.)
