An inflatable bladder 33, 41 configured to be carried by an aircrew garment 35, 43, 34, 42 worn on the body of the aircrew and to apply pressure to the body when inflated by a gas to counteract effects of high G-forces during flight. The bladder includes a gas-permeable material allowing the passage of the gas therethrough to cool the body. The bladder may be configured to control the maximum rate of the passage of the gas therethrough such that the bladder remains sufficiently inflated. The bladder may comprise formations on its internal surface to facilitate passage of the gas between the formations. The passage of gas though the permeable membrane may cool the wearers body. The bladder may be located between two layers of the garment. There is also claimed an ensemble comprising an inflatable bladder and a method of protecting aircrew using an inflatable bladder carried by a garment.
