The invention relates to protective garments such as submarine escape suits. In a first aspect a garment is made of a flexible material and comprises a body portion, left and right leg portions and an adjustment arrangement 40, 42 extending along an interior surface of the suit from first points 46 of the leg portions of the suit to second points (44, figure 7) on the body portion of the suit. The adjustment arrangement is configured to allow the suit to contract between the points to allow the suit to fit wearers of differing heights. In a second aspect the garment (figures 1-5) comprises a hood 14 for covering the head of a wearer and at least one releasable connector 22, the hood including a releasable portion releasable by the at least one releasable connector from the remainder of the hood to expose the face of a wearer, wherein the at least one releasable connector comprises an elongate strip attached to the hood such that when the strip is pulled away from the hood it tears the hood to release the portion of the hood. As such a user who has surfaced can access fresh air.
