On the fourth page, there are errors in the data (the values were by mistake multiplied by the magnitude of the fabric skin sweating area A = 1.426 m²) in Fig. 1. The Fig. 1 should be presented as follows:

Fig. 1

The evaporative resistances of the boundary air layer calculated from the manikin nude surface temperature and the wet textile skin surface temperature (by the heat loss option). R _{ea_real} The real evaporative resistance of the air layer calculated from the wet skin

On the fourth page, lines 2–6 (the left column), the mean real evaporative resistance of the boundary air layer should be 0.0203 kPa m²/W (the previously presented value divided by A = 1.426 m²), and the averaged evaporative resistance calculated from the manikin surface temperature should be 0.0249 kPa m²/W.

We wish to thank Prof. George Havenith at Loughborough University, UK, for pointing out the errors.
