A material that is elastic and cut/puncture resistant, for use in garments. Said material contains a plurality of protective elements (38), at least one elastic base layer (36), and minimal connective area (42) or no connective area (see Fig. 14a) between the protective element(s) (38) and the elastic base (36) layer(s). The attachment can be point attachment (42), or attachment of layers of elastic materials to form pockets (108) to capture the protective elements. The protective elements can be flexible (Fig. 3a) or (semi) rigid (82). |
