<p>A heat transfer garment, for modulating the heat flow to or from the body of the user, comprises an assembly of fabric constructed to conform substantially to the contours of a body portion over which it is to be used, a plurality of lengths of flexible tubes 28 secured to one sunface of the fabric so as to extend along the length of the fabric, the lengths of tube being substantially uniformly spaced apart transversely of the fabric and each length being substantially sinusoidal in shape along a major portion of its length, and adjacent lengths being substantially in-phase with one another, means for supplying heat transfer liquid to one end of each the tube, and means for receiving heat transfer liquid discharged from the opposite end of the tubes. The tubes are preferably attached to the fabric by means of zig-zag stitching as shown in Fig. 5. <IMAGE></p> |
