Abstract: Safety apparel for traversing a roof surface includes an outer fabric surface over which a readily abradable pattern of raised elastomeric members is applied. The apparel is sized and configured to fit over worn clothing such as blue jeans, permit the easy passing through of worn shoes, and includes cinching members to snug the apparel over the worn clothing. Interior surfaces of the apparel may also include an applied pattern of raised elastomeric members.

Abstract: Anti-slip slip-on slip-over roof safety shorts comprises an exterior special gripping surface and material combination for use by anyone with a need to be on steep sloped surface such as a roof to increase the sliding friction between the wearer and the steep sloped surface. The safety shorts are fastenable to slip on the body or over other conventional existing articles of clothing. Optionally, the special gripping surface can be applied to the interior surface of the roof safety shorts so that when the inside non-slip surface contacts with the existing wearer's conventional existing clothing it prevents slippage between the roof safety shorts and the wearer's conventional existing clothing. Unlike other articles of clothing with gripping material a special process, material, and techniques have been applied to slow and/or prevent the degradation of the gripping material when a 200 lb. man falls on the roof with the safety shorts.

Abstract: Anti-slip clothing with a homogeneous gripping surface for use by anyone with a need to be on steep sloped surface such as a roof which effectuates a reduced coefficient of sliding friction between the wearer and the steep sloped surface. The anti-slip clothing can be an article of clothing such as a shirt, vest, jacket, pancho, coveralls, overalls, pair of shorts, pair of pants, waist-sashes or partial leg coverings, calf and forearm coverings, slip-over clothing such as slip-over shirts and fastenable slip-over shorts worn on the body or over other conventional articles of clothing and which includes a gripping surface applied to an exterior or optionally to the interior surface of the article of clothing so that when the inside non-slip surface contacts with the existing wearers conventional existing clothing it prevents slippage between the anti-slip clothing and the wearers conventional existing clothing.
