Visser, Sietske (author)Humans wear helmets to protect the head from impact. However, covering part of the body influences the thermal balance due to restricting the heat loss capacity. This is especially the case for the head due of the lack of vasoconstriction response in the head’s skin. This project focussed on improving thermal comfort and perception when wearing...master thesis 2017
