A protective garment in the form of a jacket or the like, having an inflatable chamber (10) covering the wearer's back, front and part of their arms. Gas bottles (30) containing air or oxygen are held in pockets (32) and are activated in the event of an avalanche by pulling the ripcords (34) via the tag (36), so as to inflate the jacket. Gas permeable patches (28) are provided in the collar (22) through which the air or oxygen can escape allowing the user to breathe. |
