摘要

2093317 9205717 PCTABS00011 Protective body padding (10) comprising a plurality of foam modules (14) interconnected by a membrane (16). The foam modules (14) and/or membrane (16) have a plurality of perforations (24) extending completely therethrough and a matrix of interconnecting air channels (28) designed to provide breathability and cooling capacity to allow venting of heat and moisture from the skin. In a preferred embodiment, the foam (11) in the modules (14) is of a variable flexibility, wherein the flexibility of foam closest to the skin is greater than the flexibility of foam immediately above. For sports use, the modules (14) can be positioned between the upper (12) and lower (17) resilient layers in a variety of positions to articulate with vulnerable body parts.
