Abstract
A protective garment including a heat, flame and abrasion resistant outer shell configured to be worn on at least part of a body of a wearer, the outer shell including an opening formed therein. The garment further includes a heat and flame resistant material, of a different type of material than the outer shell, positioned in the opening.
Claims26
A protective garment comprising:
- a heat, flame and abrasion resistant outer shell configured to be worn on at least part of a body of a wearer, wherein the outer shell includes an opening formed therein;
- and
- a heat and flame resistant material, of a different type of material than the outer shell, positioned in and spanning the opening, wherein said material is air permeable and positioned in said opening such that air passing through said opening also passes directly through said material.
A protective garment comprising:
- an outer shell;
- a moisture barrier configured to be positioned between the outer shell and wearer of the garment, wherein the moisture barrier is generally liquid moisture impermeable and generally moisture vapor permeable, wherein the outer shell and the moisture barrier each include a vent, and the vents are generally aligned;
- and a protective flap positioned over the vent of the outer shell, wherein the flap at least partially defines at least one vent that communicates with the vent of the outer shell.
A protective garment comprising:
- a protective garment including an outer shell;
- and
- a moisture barrier configured to be positioned between the outer shell and wearer of the garment, the moisture barrier including a vent defined by overlapping portions of the garment, wherein the vent is positioned on the sleeve or leg of the garment, wherein the vent extends more than about 180 degrees but less than about 360 degrees around the sleeve or leg.
A protective garment comprising:
- an outer shell;
- a moisture barrier configured to be positioned between the outer shell and wearer of the garment, the moisture barrier including a vent defined by overlapping portions of the moisture barrier;
- and
- an expansion limiter configured to allow said vent to be expanded at a position of said expansion limiter but configured to prevent the vent from being expanded to a position wherein the portions of the vent no longer overlap.
1 more element
A protective garment comprising:
- a heat, flame and abrasion resistant outer shell configured to be worn on at least part of a body of a wearer, wherein the outer shell includes an opening formed therein and material positioned in the opening, wherein the opening provides a path into an interior of the outer shell in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the outer shell;
- and
- a protective flap positioned over the opening and the material, the flap defining a pair of generally vertically extending side vents that communicate with the opening, wherein the opening has an outer perimeter and the heat and flame resistant material is directly coupled to an entirety of said outer perimeter.
