Development of military clothing used in cold climate regions using different methods and examination of their performance

Today, many studies are being conducted on protective clothing. Although the work on cold climate protective clothing has been intensified recently, the desired size has not been achieved due to both economic reasonsand technical problems. Recently, incident shave occurred in our country and around the world in which climbers and soldier serving in the army have lostheirlives as a result of hypothermia. For this reason, in the study, it is aimed to develop cold climate clothing that has been used in many fields, from military textiles to mountaineering clothing,using different production methods than existing methods. The characteristics of the products designed and manufactured within the scope of the study were examined ergonomically and in terms of performance and compared with the coldclimate clothing currently used. In the study, 6 different kinds of products were obtaine dusing 3 different methods. In the first method, bead fiber polyester, microgel polyester and hollow fiber were used as filler materials in different proportions. In the second method, environment alapproaches were aimed and it was aimed to evaluate waste fabrics. For this purpose, a fabric was obtained on the pile surface by recycling the clothes produced for military use in sewing houses and the waste clipping fabrics produced during the garment stage. This surface was combined with the main material to obtain a laminated fabric surface. The third method, a carbon fiber nonwoven fabric layer film obtained from the characteristics of fire and cold climates Polyester combined with a design is made of which is planned to be obtained. Planned to be used in differentareas of the Turkish Armed Forces and the performance of cold climate produced six different clothing in command of the land forces of the out fitobtained by conventional methods that are currently being used and the test shave been compared with the performance. It has been observed that different production techniques can be used in these clothes.
