PROTECTIVE GARMENT, WHICH IS WORN WITH SHOULDER PAD HAVING INFLATABLE BLADDER, FOR FIREFIGHTER OR FOR EMERGENCY WORKER

摘要

A protective garment, such as a protective coat or protective coveralls, for a firefighter or for an emergency worker is provided with a shoulder pad, whic h is worn between the protective coat and a shoulder of a wearer. The shoulder p ad is attached detachably, as by a hook-and-loop fastener, to a shoulder strap of suspenders worn by the wearer or to the protective garment. The shoulder pa d contains a bladder, which is adapted to be inflated with a suitable fluid, preferably air, so to increase an air space between the protective coat and the shoulde r of the wearer. The air space provides thermal insulation between the protective garment and the shoulder of the wearer.
