Protective garment with pocket for a cushioning pad

摘要

Embodiments of the disclosure relate generally to protective clothing (100) comprising one or more pockets (102) operable to hold cushioning pads (202) in strategic places on the clothing, such as knees, elbows, and shoulders, for example. The pocket opening (104) comprising a first opening layer (204) and a second opening layer (206) offset from the first opening layer. The opening would not comprise any other fastening elements, such as Velcro, hooks, closures, zippers, etc. which may be easily damaged. The offset or distance between the two opening layers would allow for easy insertion of the cushioning pad, while also preventing a cushioning pad from accidentally coming out of the pocket.
