Abstract
The ability to control one's personal microclimate allows for customized comfort, reduced energy expenditure, and better human performance. Here we present the design of a multi-zone user-controllable heated jacket. The garment uses a multi-layer textile approach to provide e-Textile heating and thermal insulation. Heating zones are controlled by the user through a sleeve-mounted multi-sensor e-Textile interface. A custom textile-integrated 3D printed strain-relief support protects the interface and provides a counter-force for manual interaction. The garment is designed for everyday wearability in a physical and aesthetic form intended to blend in with everyday clothing.
