Summary/Abstract: Heat transfer in the clothing – heat source system depends largely on the thermal insulation of the clothing. This is the basic parameter describing the set of clothing used, which consists of the thermal resistance of the individual layers of clothing. It also takes into account the air gaps between the layers. The occurrence of the air gaps is related to the degree of fitting the garment to the user's body shape. The size of the air gaps formed can be analyzed using 3D scanning techniques. The article presents the problem of the occurrence of air gaps (and thus indirectly the degree of fitting the garment to the body shape) and their significance.
