Abstract
A wearable device to comfortably and ergonomically transfer substantially all of the weight of a heavy protective garment from a wearer's shoulders, neck and back to the wearer's waist, in a manner that does not interfere with the normal and necessary movement and range of motion of the wearer. The device transfers the weight of the protective garment from the shoulder area of the wearer to a belt at the waist/hip area of the wearer via a vertical support member(s) that incorporate(s) articulating and adjustable elements which permit the device to accommodate the natural movement of the wearer's body at the waist, back, neck and shoulders while transferring the weight of the protective garment to the waist/hip area of the wearer. The subject device may also be incorporated into or made part of a protective garment.
