The wet- weather clothing protects the impregnated clothing from large drops or quantities of CW agents; the impregnated clothing neutralizes CW agent vapors and aerosols that may enter the wet- weather clothing. DONNING IMPREGNATED CLOTHING. — To obtain the maximum protection afforded by impregnated  clothing,  you  must  properly  don the  clothing.  The  procedures  for  donning impregnated clothing, rubber boots, and gloves, using the buddy system, are as follows: 1. Under extremely hot conditions, or if desired, remove all regular clothing except underwear. Always remember, however, the more clothing, the better the protection, 2. Put on socks. 3. Put on the overalls; fasten all straps for a snug fit by crossing them across the chest. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Put on the butyl rubber boots and bring the pant legs of the overalls down over the tops. Raise the pant legs up to within 2 inches of the top of the boots and wrap them with two turns of masking tape. Leave tabs  so  that  the  tape  can  easily  be removed. Blouse the excess pant legs over the tape. Pull  on  the  jumper,  leaving  the  hood thrown back. Blouse the jumper approximately 2 inches below the top of the overalls. Wrap with two turns of masking tape around the jumper. Be sure that the jumper is securely taped down, but leave a tab for easy removal later. Take up the slack by folding the jumper over the back. Blouse the jumper over the tape. Don the undergloves and the butyl rubber overgloves. Pull the jumper arms down over the rubber gloves to within 2 inches of the top of the gloves. Wrap jumper arms twice with masking tape, leaving a tab for easy removal. Blouse the excess material of the arms over the tape. Tape closed all pocket openings and zip- pers (optional). Don the protective mask. Pull  the  jumper  hood  over  the  head. Secure the neck of the jumper with the drawstring. Take up the slack around the neck and facepiece of the mask with the drawstring provided at the top front of the hood. Then fold over any extra material at the top of the hood and secure with tape. Tape the edges of the hood securely to the mask. CARE OF IMPREGNATED CLOTHING. — You should not wear impregnated clothing for general-purpose coveralls or for any purpose other than CBR defense training or actual CBR defense operations. The effectiveness of the impregnant is reduced by contact with oil, grease, moisture, or dirt and by exposure to sunlight. After the clothing is worn in drills, it should be thoroughly dried in a warm current of air; moisture is the principal factor in the deterioration of the CC2 impregnant. The clothing is to be stowed in a clean, dark, thoroughly dry location, and in the original package if possible. In cool-to-warm stowage and 6-17
