摘要

Coveralls for protecting a wearer from a flash fire comprising a source of breathing air adapted to be carried on the wearer's back, a respirator adapted to supply air at the wearer's face, and a conduit connecting the source of breathing air and the respirator. The coveralls include a one-piece main suit and a detachable head covering comprised of a heat-resistant fabric adhered to a layer of aluminum that forms the outer surface of the main suit and head covering. An insulating inner liner is contained within the one-piece main suit and head covering. The main suit has main suit sleeves and leg portions connected to a torso portion with a waist area. The detachable head covering includes a viewing lens and a downwardly-draping hood dimensioned to envelope the wearer's head and upper area of the torso portion of the main suit such that the source of breathing air and the conduit are protected in the event of a flash fire.
