Abstract
Abstract A disposable rain garment, adaptable to be dispensed from a continuous sheet which is storable on a roller, prior to use. The garment is formed of a double layer of waterproof material such as plastic sheeting, and pre-cut to form leg sections and arm sections, with a hood section which encloses the wearer's shoulders and head. Each leg section is fitted with straps at the bottom ends so as to tie about the undersoles of the shoes of the wearer. The garment may be dispensed from rollers hung in stores immediately prior to and during a rainstorm, and the garment is readily disposed of after the need has passed.
