ABSTRACT:
A protector for protecting a wearer is disclosed herein. The protector includes a protection element extending along an axis between first and second ends. The protection element has an inner surface for at least partially contacting a wearer, an outer surface opposite the inner surface, and an outer edge. The protector also includes at least one elastic band arrangement connected to the outer edge at two places and overlaying the inner surface and being operable to allow at least a portion of the wearer to be received between the at least one elastic band and the inner surface. The protector also includes at least one friction element coupled to the inner surface and discreet from the at least one elastic band. The at least one friction element defines a greater coefficient of friction than the inner surface and is thereby more operable to minimize movement of the protection element relative to the wearer than the inner surface. The at least one friction element and the at least one elastic band are spaced from one another along the axis such that either the at least one friction element or the at least one elastic band can tend to limit sliding movement of the protector as the portion of the wearer expands or contracts during use.
