Summary/Abstract: Wearable electronics in textile products can be used in specialized protective clothing to monitor users’ health and hazards in their direct surroundings. Considering the very hazardous and variable working conditions during rescue operations, mountain rescuers could also use such smart clothing. This has been confirmed by the results of a survey on mountain rescuers’ needs for smart protective clothing for rescue operations in the mountains. According to the results of this survey, it is necessary to develop new, innovative clothing for mountain rescuers with a location sensor, cooling/heating system, physiological state sensor and energy harvester supporting powering of, e.g., a smartphone.
