Recently, clothing products for human to improve a comfortable feeling and to assist functions have been expected. To develop these clothing products, we must grasp the environmental actual situation not only in a laboratory level, but also in generated clothing in the outdoors. Therefore we developed the clothing environmental measuring system using a specific compact telemeter.It became clear that many human factors as respiration metabolism, skin temperature, blood velocity, waistband pressure, and volume in lower legs and foot were changing when the global environment changed. That is, these factors changed with a seasonal variation even if we did not change environmental temperature positively. Furthermore, the blood velocity changed with circadian rhythm, and the waistband pressure and the volume of lower legs and foot changed by phase of a menstrual cycle significantly. In other words, if we consider seasonal variation, phase of a menstrual cycle, and circadian rhythm, we can realize more comfortable clothing environment. In this way, we were able to investigate these factors which we must not overlook to understand the actual situation of clothing environment precisely, and to clarify the effects of these factors. In future, we intend to accumulate the data which accorded with actual life with the clothing environmental measuring system using a specific compact telemeter developed by own, and to arrive at the basic design indicator that is necessary for development of a product assisting a function of the human body.
