Data were expressed as mean ± SE. *p<0.05 and ^ap<0.1 indicates a significant difference between haired and cropped hair conditions or among 10, 15 and 20°C. Categorical scales in subjective perceptions are as follows: thermal sensation (−4 very cold, −3 cold, −2 cool, −1 slightly cool, 0 neither, 1 slightly warm, 2 warm, 3 hot, 4 very hot), thermal comfort sensation (−3 very uncomfortable, −2 uncomfortable, −1 a little uncomfortable, 0 neither, 1 a little comfortable, 2 comfortable, 3 very comfortable), wet sensation (−3 very dry, −2 dry, −1 a little dry, 0 neither, 1 a little wet, 2 wet, 3 very wet), thirst sensation (0 no thirst, 1 a little thirsty, 2 thirsty, 3 very thirsty).
