Abstract
The paper describes methods for measuring the thermal resistance of protective clothing intended for use in extreme Arctic conditions. It discusses conventional approaches, such as calorimetry and thermal manikins testing, and contemporary techniques, including infrared thermography, computer modeling, and smart textile sensors. Key issues related to the discrepancy between laboratory data and real-life operating conditions are identified, including the influence of wind load, high humidity, and temperatures below −50 °C. The paper analyzes the limitations of applicable standards (GOST 12.4.303-2016, ISO 15831:2004) proposes ways to improve them, including the introduction of correction factors to consider hybrid climatic factors. The paper focuses on promising areas, such as the integration of artificial intelligence for data analysis, the development of nanostructured insulation, and the harmonization of Russian standards with international requirements. It highlights the need for an interdisciplinary approach combining materials science, climate science, and digital technologies to improve the safety and performance of protective clothing in the context of increasing human impact on Arctic regions.
