ABSTRACT:
A hip and pad assembly for use in protecting the hip and pelvic areas of an athelete. At least one protective pad assembly is provided with a configuration facilitating its positioning over the hip and iliac crest area of the pelvis on a side of a user. An elongated thin lightweight belt is provided with an elastic portion and Velcro type hook and eyelet fasteners with mating fastener elements at the free ends of the belt. The belt and the pad assembly are removably coupled in a manner which facilitates relative sliding movement therebetween. The Velcro type hook and eyelet fasteners are dimensioned to permit attachment between the mating fastener elements thereof over a range of points thereby making the assembly adjustable to fit a variety of different size athletes and to be quickly and efficiently put on or removed by the athlete before, during and subsequent to the athletic event. The elasticity of the belt and the capability of the pad assembly to move relative to the attached belt facilitates comfortable use by the athlete while accommodating a variety of different athletic movements.
