Description
- Embodiments of the present invention are related to protective garments, and, in particular, to garments that protect a person's waders, pants, or legs.
- In recent years, the number of people engaging in water-related activities such as fishing, water gardening, and off-road riding has increased. In order to stay dry and comfortable during these activities, many people wear waders, which are a waterproof garment consisting of pants with attached boots that cover a person's legs and feet and can even extend to cover the person's hips and chest. In order to maximize a person's freedom of movement while wearing waders during these activities, waders are typically made of thin, light-weight, waterproof materials including vulcanized rubber, plasticized polyvinyl chloride, neoprene, and waterproof breathable fabrics.
- However, many water-related activities include walking or hiking through dense foliage to reach a watery destination, and because waders are often made of thin light-weight materials, the waders can be torn on thistles, branches, and foliage. A person can remove the waders and risk tearing his/her pants or scratching his/her legs only to put the waders back on at the watery destination, or the person can leave the waders on and risk tearing the waders. It is often the case, however, that most tears in waders that are obtained from walking or hiking through dense foliage may be too small to be readily observed and go unnoticed until after the person is engaged in the water-related activity. As a result, the person may have to stop the activity to search for tears in the waders, or the lower portion of the waders may slowly fill with enough water to hinder the person's movements and place the person at risk of falling and in some cases drowning. People who engage in water-related activities have recognized a need for a device that can protect waders, pants, and/or a person's legs from damaged or scratched during certain water-related or outdoor activities.
- Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to protective garments that can be used to protect waders, pants, and person's legs from damage during water-related or other outdoor activities. In one embodiment, a protective garment comprises an apron, a first leg protector, a second leg protector, a pouch, and at least one releasable fastener. The apron covers the lower abdominal region of a person and has a top edge, a front surface, a back surface, and a waist attachment means configured to releasably securing the apron to the waist of the person. The first leg protector extends from the apron and has at least one leg attachment means configured to releasably securing the first leg protector to a first leg of the person. The second leg protector extends from the apron and has at least one leg attachment means configured to releasably securing the second leg protector to a second leg of the person. The pouch has a flap and a back portion attached to the top edge of the apron. The at least one releasable fastener has a first fastener portion attached to the back portion of the pouch and a second fastener portion attached to the flap, wherein the apron and first and second leg protectors can be rolled-up and stored within the pouch by attaching the first fastener portion to the second fastener portion.
