A protective pad includes a sheet of generally rigid malleable material having a plurality of spaced apart slots formed along at least a pair of opposing side edges, to form wing portions between the slots. The sheet is bent from end to end and from side to side to conform to a portion of the body. The side edges of the sheet are shortened by overlapping the wing portions, so as to conform the sheet to a specific portion of the body. A soft pad of spongy material is adhered to one surface of the sheet to be placed against the body. A resilient protective coating completely covers the sheet and the soft pad, yet allows the sheet to bend and conform to the body portion. The entire unit is encased within a fabric material with straps permitting attachment of the protective pad to the body.
