Abstract
A protective garment such as a glove is knitted from a yarn comprising a heat-resistant core and a core covering comprising a carbon based yarn. The knitted garment is treated (e.g. by heating) to at least partially decompose the carbon based yarn to form activated charcoal in order to provide increased protection against chemical and/or biological risks.
