Abstract
A self-contained clothing system comprising a foundation garment, typefied by a shirt-jacket and a pant, and several removable components, typefied by a hood, a sleeved yoke, and two chaps, which, all together and in conjunction with normal undergarments, serve to protect the wearer from the elements in changing weather conditions. This versatility of function is achieved through a design which incorporates removable components, pockets to carry said removable components, adjustable ventilation openings, and the use of appropriate fabrics.
