Abstract
A protective and attractive garment such as a jumpsuit is provided which has the appearance of a normal article of clothing. The garment is particularly suitable for hang-gliding or parachuting and is made from a fabric of two coextensive layers of close-weave material which offers substantial resistance to the flow of air or gas through the material. If an emergency arises which exposes the wearer to the danger of an injury due to forceful impact, the suit is inflated by providing a gas under pressure to the area between the two layers of material thereby surrounding the wearer with a protective air cushion.
