<p>This invention relates to a crotch and hip joint protection garment of a breeches-shape or a pants-shape having hem portions of the leg parts below the wearer's hip joint regions and a protection pad in the vicinity of the wearer's crotch region. The protection pad (4) comprises a base pad made of non-woven fabric or an open-cell flexible polyurethane foam and a pad cover made of a knit or a non-woven fabric covering the base pad. The protection pad (4) extends and covers from the crotch region to at least the region below the wearer's hip joint regions toward the hem portions, to provide a garment to protect the wearer's crotch and hip joint regions which is not liable to cause pain or abrasion by the friction between the garment and the skin of the wearer. The garment can provide improved wearing comfort with its good ventilation and less stuffiness, and therefore, is appropriate for the sports application including bicycling, motorcycling and horseriding. <IMAGE></p> |
