protective suit

Full-body shield clothing

A protective suit is a full-body garment designed to shield the wearer from hazardous conditions.

Hazmat suits guard against chemical or biological exposure, radiation suits block harmful rays, and bomb disposal suits absorb blast impact.

The term covers everything from cleanroom bunny suits to the bulky gear worn in nuclear facilities: Workers donned protective suits before entering the contaminated zone.
