The disclosed subject matter relates to chemical and biological protective hood and garments including the hood. The hood includes a hood body having a face opening in the hood body, at least one section of a non-stretch protective composite fabric, at least one section of a stretch protective composite fabric and a face opening liner including a non-stretch fabric cover layer and an aerosol protective layer and does not include a vapor protective layer, the face opening liner being attached to the hood body and positioned around the perimeter of the face opening.

Aspects herein are directed to a trim piece assembly that can be incorporated into an article of apparel, where the trim piece assembly is used to house a drawcord. The trim piece assembly is constructed and incorporated into the article of apparel in such a way that there is no topstitching on the external-facing surface of the article of apparel in areas where the trim piece assembly is located.

Protective garments are disclosed having an inner lining with high lubricity and high strength characteristics. The inner lining, in one embodiment, contains spun yarns combined with para-aramid multifilament yarns. The spun yarns may also contain flame resistant fibers, such as meta-aramid fibers, FR cellulose fibers, or mixtures thereof. The para-aramid filament yarns provide excellent strength characteristics to the fabric. In addition, in some embodiments, the multifilament yarns may enhance the fire resistant properties of the fabric. In one embodiment, the para-aramid filament yarns may have less than five twists per inch, such as from about 1 twist per inch to about four twists per inch.

The technology described herein generally relates to a garment that is insulating yet light weight, which may provide protection from the elements without weighing down the wearer. The garment in accordance with the technology described herein comprises a layer of thermally insulating sheet material having one or more voided portions in place of conventional down or other synthetic thermally insulating materials. The one or more voided portions allow the thermal insulation to be light weight and adequately protective in cooler/cold weather, without adding motion hindering bulk to the garment.

A bottom garment including a front panel, a back panel, and a garment lining. The front panel formed of a first fabric and the garment lining formed of a second fabric. The garment lining attached to an inside surface of the front panel and an inside surface of the back panel. The garment lining attached above a crotch point of the garment such that the garment lining is less restrictive than the front panel.

A garment with insulated liner including a short pant having a shirt loop adapted to be secured to a shirt loop. An insulated undergarment is attached to the short pant, and adapted to cover and fit closely to the body of a wearer to preserve an elevated temperature of the body of the wearer under the insulated undergarment. The garment with insulated liner further includes an inner fly flap reinforced with an internal rubberized layer; and an outer fly flap reinforced with another internal rubberized layer. The inner fly flap and the outer fly flap prevent the insulated undergarment from drastically shifting in turbulent water.
