Title: Protective apparel

Abstract: An article of apparel for shielding portions of the body from flying debris such as saw splinters, drill chips, dust, grit, and other particulate matter resulting from overhead work with a hand-held tool, includes a sleeve with an arm-fitting cuff for containing one hand of a user, a porous sleeve-section connecting with the cuff, a transparent sleeve section connected above the porous sleeve section and a loop with a downward angled handle for grasping by the other hand of a user and supporting the upper end of the sleeve against an overhead; pumping action of sawing or the like is prevented by breathing action of the porous sleeve section from blowing debris out of the sleeve, and the transparent sleeve section affords good visibility combined with shielding for the user.
