Methods and apparatus for facilitating quick and convenient putting-on and taking-off of various personal apparel and accessories, including a variety of protection and/or sporting equipment. One example includes a goalie pad including a protective portion configured to protect at least some portion of a leg of a person, and an adjustable portion coupled to the protective portion and including at least one adjustment mechanism configured to facilitate an adjustable fitting of the goalie pad to the person. The goalie pad further includes at least one attach/release mechanism, coupled to the protective portion and the adjustable portion, to facilitate at least one of a putting-on and a taking-off of the goalie pad to and from the person. In various aspects, putting-on and taking-off of the goalie pad may be performed without making any significant adjustments to the adjustment mechanism(s), and/or may be performed by a single act.
