chapter
posted on 2014-06-13, 11:02 authored by George TorrensGeorge Torrens, Ian Campbell, William M. TuttonThis chapter outlines the substantive issues when designing
handwear and footwear for military applications, in the context of the
requirements of fit to UK milita1y personnel, their tasks, and the environment or
theatre within which they will operate. First, the nature and level of protection
in different circumstances are outlined. Second, fit, physiological maintenance,
task performance and other factors that influence design are considered. Finally,
future trends in design and production are introduced. In each case, best practice
from Human Factors and the application of available technologies are described
