Abstract

A water-repellent garment for particular use by meter readers. The garment is of a flexible material having a front panel including an opening in which is releasably secured a rigid, fog-proof, transparent window, to enable the reader to see through the window to read or write on cards held under the garment. The window is secured within the opening through the use of releasably securable means, such as VELCRO fastening tape. The releasable securement feature permits removal or replacement of the window, if desired, while also forming a weather-tight seal between the window and the garment material.
