Abstract
A positive-pressure protective wear has a protective body and an air supply. The protective body has a clothing and a headgear connected with the clothing. The air supply is connected with the protective body and inputs gas into the protective body to keep the protective body under positive pressure, and this can provide an effect of ventilation.
