ABSTRACT:
A protective vest for use by motorcycle riders, snow mobile riders, rodeo riders and the like provides an integral inner vest of cushioned material such as foam having a vertical opening at the front portion thereof and a pair of arm openings allowing it to be dorned by a wearer. A lowermost circumferential armor plate of hardened plastic, for example, extends from the vertical opening 360.degree. degrees around the wearer and vertically from the lowermost portion of the vest upwardly a distance terminating at the middle portion of the vest. The hardened armor plate is bonded, for example, directly to the innermost foam vest. A pair of bilaterally symmetrical hardened plates extend from the mid portion of the vest upwardly over the shoulder of the vest and downwardly onto the back portion thereof forming a pair of bilaterally symmetric continuous armor plated panels separate from the lowermost panel and from each other. A hingedly attached front plate is affixed to the lowermost portion of the vest and is securedly fastened by means of a web belt type connection, for example. An enlarged annular raised portion surrounds the neck of the wearer and can be integral with the foam vest. A pair of spaced apart bilaterally symmetrical shoulder plates are movably attached to the vest body by means of webbing, for example, and provide the straps for securing the shoulder pads to the arms of the wearer for movement therewith.
