Abstract

A protective garment comprising a seamless, transparent, plastic body of tubular design having gathered elastic loops at the opposite ends thereof. In one embodiment, the loops are of such size as to be worn about the waist and the length of the body is such as to extend along both the inside and the outside of a coat or other piece of feminine apparel to be protected. In another embodiment, the body is of such length as to be worn between the upper thigh and the ankle and the opposite ends thereof are provided with elastic loops of differing sizes, one end to be worn about the upper thigh and the other end to be worn about the ankle.

Claims

1. A protective garment for human apparel comprising:

an elongated tubular body of pliable transparent, non-porous material and of a length approximately equal to the length of a human leg between upper thigh and ankle, said body having at the opposite ends thereof bands of elastic material to define gathered loops, one loop being relatively large so as to fit snugly about one'"'"''"'"'s thigh and the other loop being relatively small to fit snugly about one'"'"''"'"'s ankle thereby to maintain the body properly positioned about one'"'"''"'"'s leg without the need for additional support elements, the width of said body being substantially uniform between said gathered loops and of such dimension as to fit loosely about a leg garment such as slacks to protect the same from inclement weather and soiling elements.
