ABSTRACT:
A sports brassiere provides impact protection with rigid cups of polyethylene, lined inside (and preferably outside) with closed-cell foam, such as neoprene. The foam reduces injury by absorbing impact energy. The inner layer is compressed over a large area and, therefore, absorbs more energy. The neoprene layers extend beyond the periphery of the rigid cups and are glued to the respective surfaces of the cups within the periphery of the cups and are glued to one another outside the periphery of the cups, using waterproof glue. Two layers of thin nylon are bonded to the neoprene layers. Since the laminate absorbs no water, it is easily dried after washing.
