ABSTRACT:
Outerwear for bicyclists which substantially protects the rider from cuts and abrasions in the event of a fall or crash, particularly of bicycle racers. The outerwear is constructed with protective fabric panels containing abrasion and cut resistant high performance fibers or yarn, such as ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. The fibers or yarn are woven, knitted, or knit-woven with conventional man made or natural fibers or yarn so that they are evenly distributed through the protective panels. The protective panels are structural components of the garment and are sewn or otherwise attached to panels or sections of conventional textile to complete the garment. The upper outerwear defines a pair of arm openings, a waist opening, and a neck opening. Protective panels on and upper outerwear are placed to protect the shoulders, outer arms, and upper back of the wearing. The lower outerwear defines a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. The lower outerwear contains abrasion and cut resistant panels placed to protect the hips and outer thighs, knees, and buttocks of the wearer. The outerwear is effective to retain the abrasion resistant panels in place over or against the body of the wearer while riding a bicycle and on body impact with the road or riding surface.
