ABSTRACT:
The invention is a one-piece, fully adjustable, shock absorbing protective vest. The protective vest is contoured to fully protect the chest, shoulder and upper arm areas of the wearer. The protective vest allows free movement of both arms without pulling out of position or compromising the area of protective coverage. Further, enhancing the flexibility of the protective vest are slits positioned to help the protective vest move with the wearer without pulling the protective vest out of position. The protective vest is attached to the wearer through an adjustable combination of flexible and non-flexible straps which are further adjustable by the use of a dual adjustable piece allowing a full range of adjustment for different body types without compromising protection to the wearer. The protective vest is made from a rubber-like pad that absorbs shock and resists moisture, and is covered on the front with a breathable fabric and on the back facing the wearer with a moisture-wicking fabric that takes moisture from the body, but does not transmit the moisture to the inner pad.
