Abstract

A submarine escape suit is made longitudinally adjustable by elastic adjustment members (20a, 20b) that extend along the sides of the suit between the ankle region and the arms of the suit. This provides a long adjustment length which allows a wide range of wearer heights to be accommodated. The members (20a, 20b) are encased in non-snag covers (29). A central adjustment strap (21) is also provided and is also partially encased in a non-snag cover (35).
