  • Patent number: 5170503
    Abstract: A protective garment for shielding a wearer from snake bites upon the lower portion of the leg is disclosed. The garment is a legging made of woven fabric which will protect against snake bites even when the snake has fangs longer than the thickness of the material. The legging has two separate side edges extending all along its length and includes a strap, fabric fastener strips, and snap and socket fastener in order to provide adjustability, prevent gaps between the side edges, and minimize the risk that the fabric fasteners would become separated.
