ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a protective device such as can be used for protecting the limbs of humans, or for example for protecting animals such as for example the fetlocks of horses. The invention provides for a protective device including at least one and preferably a plurality of juxtaposed layers of substantially resilient and shock absorbant material, located within an outer covering. The substantially resilient and shock absorbant material is preferably in the form of sheet material integrally formed with open faced studs or pockets, and closed by a backing material, so that a plurality of air pockets are formed within the sheet material.
