ABSTRACT:
A thin flexible lightweight shoulder protection device for attachment to a shooter's garments to absorb rifle or similar firearm recoil loads. The device includes a flexible cover portion within which an energy absorbing pad is retained. One form of the pad includes a flexible sealed envelope which houses an internal solid polyurethane elastomer matrix which provides the device with its damping or energy absorbing capability. Alternate embodiments of the pad comprise an elastomer matrix formed with periodic recesses or depressions in the user facing surface, or with hollow compression chambers within the matrix, to provide an improved energy absorbing internal geometry to the device. Retention means are provided for removably locating and securing the device at desired garment locations.
