1. A garment comprising:
- at least one inflatable protective device able to move from a rest condition, wherein the device is in a deflated status, to a working condition, wherein the device is in an inflated status;
an inflation means able to inflate said device, the inflation means containing more than one inflation charge;
an electronic controller configured to activate the inflation means via activation signal delivered by the controller; and
means for controlling escape of inflating air from the device, whereby said device is able to steadily move from the working condition to the rest condition such that movement of said device from the rest condition to the working condition is later repeatable due to said more than one inflation charge;
wherein said device, whether in the rest condition or working condition, remains inside a pocket formed between a protection element and an external layer of the garment, the protection element being positioned over the external layer of the garment, wherein the protection element moves outward as a whole relative to the external layer of the garment when the device is moved to the working condition, and wherein the protection element is joined to the garment by means of an elastic border, the elastic border attached to at least a portion of the protection element and able to be stretched for allowing accommodation of the device inside the pocket when the device is moved from the rest condition despite the device increasing in volume.
