Coverall
A protective, single piece, item of clothing which protects the entire body, except for face, feet and hands. The garment will typically contain no pockets, into which pesticide spray could enter, zips which have protective Velcro type sealed flaps, with elasticated wrist and ankles to ensure a tight fitting to body parts.
