Optimal design principles for clothing systems

bookPart
The main factors in the design of clothing systems are identified: protection, comfort, mobility, compatibility and ease of use. Each of these factors require the compromising of various design options and, moreover, the different factors have to be coinpromised to each other as well. Once decisions are made about the priorities, the design may be optimized in a rational way. The considerations involved together with a good deal of practical experience are reflected in this chapter.
