Garments such as ski pants are often scraped by the strokes of an abrasive device, i.e., the edges of the opposing skis, when worn by a user. In one embodiment of the invention, elongated abrasion-resistant ribs are overlaid on the area of a pant leg scraped by the device, to provide a corduroyed effect of alternately successive relatively raised ribs and recessed grooves thereon, the ribs of which have a height adapted to sustain the ski edges above the bottoms of the grooves so that the bottoms of the grooves are protected from abrasion. In another embodiment, a slot is formed in the pant leg at that area, and a patch of a flexible substrate material, with an array of ribs and grooves thereon, is inserted in the slot and secured to the pant leg to provide a corduroyed surface having the capability of protecting the area from the abrasive action of the ski edge. Various types of ribs are shown, including ones made of an abrasion-resistant polymer material and ones made of a reinforced cloth material which is abrasion material. |
