ABSTRACT:
A multi-layer protective pad for being custom-fitted to a body member to be protected which includes a flexible inner cushion layer for being placed closest to the body member and an initially flexible intermediate layer bonded to the inner layer. The intermediate layer includes a fabric impregnated with a moisture-curable resin which hardens upon curing to form a rigid structure of the fabric which retains a body part-defined shape into which it is molded during curing, thereby also holding the flexible inner cushion layer in the same body-part defined shape. The fabric has a variable thickness with a relatively thick predetermined area where increased rigidity is desirable and a relatively thin area where increased flexibility is desirable. A flexible outer layer is bonded to the intermediate layer for being held by the intermediate layer in the same body-part defined shape as the intermediate layer.
