Ventilated cooling and protective garment with facial shield

A ventilated cooling and protective garment comprising:

• an outer layer comprising an air impermeable material or an air semi-impermeable material, the outer layer comprising a hood portion connected to:
• a partial body portion with one or more body part openings each one surrounded by an annular body part tight seal, or to a complete body portion, the hood portion comprising a facial opening surrounded by a facial peripheral ring;
• a facial shield comprising a transparent shield covering the facial opening and, a facial peripheral connector made of a fluid impermeable material air-tightly attaching the transparent shield to the facial peripheral ring of the hood portion;
• and a facial shield support comprising an adjustment device configured to tighten the facial shield support around a head of a user, and configured to pull the facial peripheral ring against the head of the user;
• and
• an air inlet disposed on the complete or partial body portion and configured to insufflate air into the protective garment and at least an air outlet defined by one or more air pressure relieve valves included in the facial shield, or an air inlet disposed on the facial shield and configured to insufflate air into the facial shield and an air outlet defined by one or more air pressure relieve valves included in the complete or partial body portion, producing an airflow path between the air inlet and the air outlet at least through the hood portion;
• an airflow path being set to produce a cooling airflow on the user body by:
• spacers disposed on the facial peripheral ring and configured to provide a permeable close non-air-tight fitting between the facial peripheral ring and the head of the used, the spaces further configured to generate a cooling airflow passing through the close non-air-tight fitting, cooling the parts of the user in contact with the facial peripheral ring and surrounding areas;
• and/or
• a tightening device of the hood portion adapted to tight the hood portion around a head of a user, the tightening device further configured to define a narrow chamber between the hood portion and the user's head and to generate a cooling airflow close to the head of the user.
