With energy cost skyrocket ing, everyone will be looking for ways to stay warm during winter and still save on fuel bills. Consumers who look at their clothes as body insulation can help solve the dilemma caused by their desire to lower heating temperatures to conserve energy and for physical confort, says Pennie Albrandt, Warm Springs Extension Agent. This year, the re-emergipce of natural fibers, such as cotton and wool, and the processing of man-made fibers to look and act like the natural, means that clothing can be even better for insulation. Natural fibers such as cotton and wool are the most absorbent and because of this the warmest. The more absorbent a garmet, the more it will allow body moisture to evaporate from the skin. Evaporation of body moi sture is a must for keeping warm. If body moisture can’t escape from clothing it will condense and make the clothint moist. When this moisture cools then body heat is wasted in order to compensate for the cool clothing. To insulate with clothing a gerneral rule is to dress in several layers so that layers can be added when in a cold temper ature and easily removed when the temperature is more comfor table. Pants, instead of skirts, boots, instead of shoes, ribbed cuffs instead of open cuffs, turtle-p necks instead of open collars, tucked in shirts or ribbed waist lines, and long socks instead of short socks will make better use of body heat. The construction of a fabric can also help to insulate. Choose waffle weaves, knits, pile fabrics (fake furs), quilted fabrics, thick wools, and other fabrics that provide insulation between the body and the cold. For more information on insulating with clothing pick up the extension'circular number 926 - “Cut Heating Costs - Insulate Yourself With Your Clothes” from the Warm Springs Extension Office in the Old Administration Building.
