    Thermal physiology and psychophysics are complex and nuanced, with significant variability between individuals. Wearable devices have the potential to offer customizable microclimate control. However, individual experiences with different supplemental heating strategies are likely to vary considerably in unconstrained environments. The physiological responses, psychophysical effects, and qualitative experiences of participants using five readily available heating strategies were collected in a quasi-field study environment ( n=17). Although all devices maintained or increased fingertip temperature, effects observed from controlled studies of thermal physiology are not clearly seen. Physiological, perceptual, and experiential data are presented, exploring heating technologies and thermal comfort in typical indoor environments.

    This study explores efficient methods for production of customizable heated textiles. An electrical heating system using the Liberator40® conductive fiber, stitched in a serpentine pattern on stretch knit fabrics, was employed. Parameters including thread layers, pattern sizes, and different fiber-based substrates and covering were compared when analyzing resistance and temperature output. Results indicated that covered knit fabrics stitched with a 0.4cm serpentine spacing produced the most efficient measure of temperature.
