Protective clothing providing nbc protection

A protective suit comprising a breathable adsorbing material having a protective function against chemical warfare agents, the adsorbing material comprising a multilayered layer construction including at least one sheetlike carrier layer and a barrier layer which is constructed and arranged to retard the passage of said agents, the barrier layer comprising:

• at least one adsorbing layer based on an adsorbent for said agents, the adsorbent being based on activated carbon, wherein the adsorbing layer includes at least one covering layer;
• at least one essentially water-impervious and air-impervious membrane that is constructed and arranged to be water-vapor-pervious for retarding the passage of said agents, said membrane being constructed and arranged as a multilayered membrane laminate formed from at least two interconjugated layers;
• and
• wherein the membrane is disposed between the carrier layer and the covering layer, the covering layer being constructed and arranged as a carrier for and disposed between the adsorbent and the membrane, and wherein the adsorbing layer comprising the adsorbent is fixed by means of an adhesive to the covering layer such that at least 50% of the adsorbent is freely accessible for said agents to be adsorbed by not being covered with the adhesive.
