摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a wearing product, such as a garment or shoes, equipped with a heat-controlling means comprising a heat pipe. SOLUTION: This product is equipped with a heat pipe 3 as a heat control means. The heat pipe 3 has a source zone 3a as the first portion for exchanging heat by being brought into contract with a wearer body portion 2 relatively high in his body temperature, and a well zone 3b as the second portion for exchanging heat by being brought into contact with a wear body portion relatively low in his body temperature or by communicating with the outside. Heat Q1 generated from the body heat of the wearer is transmitted from the source zone 3a to the well zone 3b to perform the heat-controlling operations such as a heat-insulating operation and a temperature-maintaining operation.
