Downloads:

ASTM F 3426 "Standard Test Method for Measuring the Thermal Insulation of Clothing Items Using Heated Manikin Body Forms"

Thermal foot in an environmental chamber

Note: We do not calculate temperature ratings for footwear for ethical reasons. The prediction models are based on heat loss from the whole body – not just the feet. Therefore, they are primarily affected by the clothing on the rest of the body.
