Abstract: A safety garment (10) operable to be worn by a wearer for cooling and protection. The safety garment (10) generally includes a protective outer layer (12), a first generally impermeable middle layer (14) coupled with the outer layer (12), an inner layer (16) coupled with the first middle layer (14) and operable to be worn against the wearer, a plurality of apertures (18) formed through the first middle layer (14) and inner layer (16), and an inlet (20) coupled with the outer layer (12). The inlet (12) is operable to receive cooling air and direct the cooling air between the outer layer (12) and first middle layer (14) to enable the cooling air to pass through at least one of the apertures (18) to cool the wearer.
