ABSTRACT:
A lightweight protective garment is provided for skaters, skiers, and the like, to reduce the injury from a fall. The garment is worn over the torso primarily to cover the area of the lower back, upper back and arms. The fabric of the garment by itself has no impact protective function but serves simply to provide a base on which protective cushioning members are attached in such a way as to absorb a portion of the impact of a fall. The cushioning members are preferably in the form of resilient foamed plastic cylinders disposed exteriorly of the garment over selected areas of the body which are generally impacted most frequently such as the lower back, the trochanter region, the shoulders and the rear surfaces of the arms. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the cushoining members are removably affixed to the garment and a cover is provided over the cushioning members so that the garment appears to be conventional.
