Abstract
Abstract A protective outer leather garment is disclosed, which garment includes a ventilation system to reduce the probability of heat prostration by the wearer. A plurality of apertures, which apertures permit a flow of air intermediate the garment and the wearer, are disposed within low stress areas of the garment. A backing material, which material is pliable and of a low stretch or non-stretch type, is attached adjacent the interior side of the leather in proximity to the apertures. Thereby, the stress concentrations attendant the apertured leather are relieved without affecting the normal pliability of the leather and the inherent comfort of the garment is preserved.
