Understanding Clo Value

The clo value is a unit of thermal resistance used to measure the insulating properties of clothing. One clo is equivalent to approximately 0.155 meters squared kilowatts per degree Celsius (m²·K/W).

The total clo value of a clothing ensemble is the sum of the clo values of individual layers. This value helps in estimating the thermal comfort of a person wearing the ensemble in different environmental conditions.
