Abstract:
A disposable protective garment (1) has bands (8) of elastomeric material at the wrists and/or ankles and/or around the hood (5). Each band is joined to the garment by a welded or adhesively-bonded seam and extends from the garment to encircle closely the adjacent part of the body of the wearer. Each band is joined in a stretched condition to the garment and is then allowed to relax, thereby forming gathers (9) in the garment.
