ABSTRACT:
A protective body appliance to prevent injury from external forces to the underlying regions of the wearer's body is provided. The self-contained, fully integrated vest employs geodesic dome structures attached to the vest at vulnerable points of the wearer's body as a superior means of protection from impact by outside forces. The vest can include an open-ended honeycomb material or a lattice structure. The attached geodesic domes can either be rigid, form-retaining domes or can be somewhat resilient and filled with foam.
