ABSTRACT:
For a firefighter, rescue worker, or chemical worker or for a person engaged in an outdoor activity, a protective garment wearable as an outer garment or as a lining system under an outer shell and with a pair of boots having leg-encasing portions, comprises a pair of pants including a pair of leg portions. Fitting into an associated one of the pair of boots when the garment and boots are worn together, each leg portion has an outer layer being a moisture barrier and terminating in an outer sock and has an inner layer being a thermal liner and terminating in an inner sock or in a stirrup. The garment further comprises a pair of cuffs, each cuff being attached to and around the outer layer of an associated one of the leg portions so extend downwardly, over and around an upper area on the leg-encasing portion of the associated one of the boots when the garment and boots are worn. The cuffs divert water or other liquids sprayed or splashed onto the leg portions, so as to prevent the diverted liquids from entering the leg-encasing portions of the boots.
