A protective wearable article, eg a body protector, buoyancy jacket, limb guard, overshoe or, as shown, a hockey keeper's foot protector, has a fastening tie 35 or 36 which comprises a shank (10, Fig. 1) having, integrally at one or at each end thereof, two arms (11, 12), one at each side of the longitudinal axis of the shank. The protector has apertures 33, 34 through which the armed ends of the fastening tie are insertable to be retained in a tie-fastened position by the arms bearing against the protector surface when force is applied back along the shank direction. The protector is located over the hockey keeper's boot (37, Fig 5) and the ties pass under the boot to retain the protector in place. An adjustable strap 39 is used to secure the protector around the ankle part of the boot. |
