PCT No. PCT/CH79/00047 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 6, 1979 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 4, 1979 PCT Filed Mar. 29, 1979 PCT Pub. No. WO79/00886 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 1, 1979.The invention relates to a padding allowing an article of clothing or an accessory to be adapted closely to a part of the human body. This padding is constituted by a thermo-formable plastic foam 2 placed in a non-extensible covering 1 and making an open cavity intended to receive the part of the body, but of which the dimensions are generally smaller than this part of the body. The housing is thus formed by the reciprocal compression of the foam and of the part of the body placed in the cavity while the temperature of the foam is brought to the thermo-forming temperature. This invention can be used for adapting boots, helmets, gloves, swimming flippers, etc.
