Abstract

The invention relates to a protective hood having a viewing window and an oxygen mask equipped with a breathing-gas connection for an oxygen supply. The protective hood is improved in that the oxygen supply is first established unhindered and the protective hood can be pulled over the head with a reliable manual movement when required without the oxygen supply having to be interrupted. Such a protective hood is especially useable by passengers in an aircraft. The protective hood is packed such that the hood is rolled up toward the front in four mutually perpendicular directions in the direction of the breathing-gas connection for the oxygen mask so that a rip loop holds the rolled parts together by means of a VELCRO closure. The rip loop is attached to the hood in the region thereof corresponding to the nape of the neck. For the required situation and while the user holds the oxygen mask in place on the face, the user need only pull on the loop thereby causing the rolled hood to unfold and the edge of the hood can be simply pulled over the head.
