ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a suit enabling a person while wearing it to walk through high temperature flames and fire. The suit according to the invention comprises an inner impermeable flexible sheet material shaped to cover the entire body of a person, and at least one outer permeable flexible sheet material substantially shaped as the inner sheet material. The inner sheet material and the one or more outer sheet materials are combined together to form a multi-ply assembly adapted to be worn by this person. This multi-ply assembly therefore includes hood or bonnet, arms, trunk and leg portions. By means of an inlet, water is continuously introduced under pressure into the multi-ply assembly between the inner sheet material and the outer permeable sheet material(s). An outlet enables the water to continuously exit from between the inner sheet material and the outer permeable sheet material(s) after having circulated therebetween. Continuous vertical channels are provided between the inner sheet material and the outer sheet material(s), thus enabling the water to continuously circulate therethrough from the inlet to the outlet. Finally, there is a viewing window in the hood or bonnet portion and an opening in the multi-ply assembly to permit a person to put on the suit.
