ABSTRACT:
A garment for wear during game play provides protection against impact forces. The garment comprises inner and outer layers of a fabric mesh with an intermediate support layer. A support layer includes a primary air channel extending along the normal seam locations of the garment with an interwoven grid of secondary air tubes being in communication with the primary air channel. Pressurized air is introduced through a valve in the primary air channel so as to inflate the air channel and grids connected thereto. Upon inflation, the grids cover the underlying body parts so as to protect against impact forces. The valve allows for a quick deflation of the air channel for allowing the garment to be worn during normal game play. The garment may also be worn in non-game environments in order to support the underlying muscles of the wearer.
