ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the limb protector is a protective gaiter which extends from the wearer's instep to just below his knee. A portion of the gaiter forms a completely closed pocket which contains an energy absorbing pad. The pocket and the pad are both configured so that the pad fits over and protects the wearer's shinbones, as well as covering many of the major bones and muscles of the wearer's leg. In another embodiment, the limb protector is an arm guard which extends from the wearer's elbow to his wrist. The arm guard includes a tapered sleeve-like element which is sufficiently elastic that it bears tightly about the arm of a user. A pocket is provided in the sleeve-like element to receive a protective pad. Elastic means are provided at both ends of the sleeve-like element to assist in preventing circumferential and longitudinal movement of the protector, even with violent movement of the user's arm.
