Abstract: An article of safety outerwear has a body including: a trunks outerwear part, adapted to receive the lower region of the torso of a wearer in use and having apertures through which the legs of the wearer protrude; and a pair of tubular leg parts, each adapted to receive therethrough a leg of the wearer and extending between an upper end, connected to the trunks outerwear part, and a lower end disposed adjacent to the ankle of said leg. Each leg part includes a tubular vent portion, extending from about the knee to about the ankle of the leg received in the leg part in use. The vent portion is constructed substantially from mesh. The mesh has an open texture for high breathability, presents a smooth surface to the legs in use, and is adapted to provide the wearer with protection against abrasion in normal working and athletic activities.
