ABSTRACT:
An apron fabricated from a radiation attenuating material including a body section having first and second sides, a top and outer and inner surfaces. The apron also includes first and second shoulder straps which are connected to the top of the body section and horizontal stiffeners which extend through the straps and into the body section. The first and second sides of the apron body section include first and second vertically aligned rows of coupling elements which permit the first and second tie straps to be coupled to the apron body section at an adjustable vertical position. This vertical adjustment feature permits the tie straps to encircle the apron body section at a level adjacent to the upper hip area of the wearer to thereby secure the apron to the wearer's body. This coupling technique permits the weight of the apron to be supported by the wearer's hips rather than by the wearer's shoulders.
