Description
Summary:•In cold environment the respirator has the effect to decrease the considered temperatures;•The effect of the respirator is mainly evident for the face temperature, less for head and mean skin temperatures, reduced for rectal temperature.•Body movements tend to lower temperatures with respect to the corresponding static conditions.•The respirator in cold environment may produce discomfort for the face (face sensation is very cold).•The metabolic rate greatly influences the thermophysiological response.
