ABSTRACT:
A lightweight, flexible sports neck protector is provided for sports players, especially hockey players, comprising an elongated, substantially flat armour member adapted to be positioned about the neck of a wearer and shaped to at least cover vital areas of the wearer's throat, the armour member being made of a flexible slash-resistant material having a slash-resistance of at least about 120 lbs, and means fixed to the armour member for enabling the member to retain a protective shape over the vital throat areas. The neck protector according to the invention is highly efficient in protecting the vital throat areas against lacerations caused by a sharp-edged object, such as a hockey stick blade or a skate blade, while being sufficiently flexible to permit free movement of the head.
