Abstract
An apparatus for simulating perspiration of human body and for assessing the vapor permeability and comfort of an item of clothing, comprising: a manequin body, provided internally with a cavity, which is contoured so as to wear the item of clothing to be tested and has on its surface a plurality of through holes which open onto the cavity; an external surface covering for the body, which is vapor-permeable and has water vapor absorption and release properties: elements for generating water vapor which are adapted to supply the cavity directly with vapor.

An apparatus for simulating perspiration of human body and for assessing vapor permeability and comfort of an item of clothing, comprising:
- a mannequin body, provided internally with a cavity and contoured so as to wear an item of clothing to be tested, said mannequin body having on a surface thereof a plurality of through holes which open onto said cavity,
- an external surface covering for said mannequin body, which is vapor-permeable and has water vapor absorption and release properties,
- means for generating water vapor which are adapted to supply said cavity directly with vapor at a temperature proximate to the temperature of human skin.
