A body impact protection system includes an inner layer and an impact force dampening and defusing structure. The inner layer includes a material composition and is adjacent to a body part when the body impact protection system is worn. The impact force dampening and defusing structure is juxtaposed to the inner layer and includes a plurality of components. The components function to reduce pressure on the body part from an impact force on a layer by layer basis. Each layer of the system dampens and defuses the impact force such that, by the time it reaches the body part, it has been substantially attenuated and spread over a large area.

A wearable airbag device (100) comprising at least one inflatable bag (10) including a first side (12) and a second side (14) defining a gas inflatable volume (V) therebetween. The at least one inflatable bag (10) comprises a plurality of airflow passages (40) defined between said first side (12) and second side (14).

A laminate structure comprises a protective layer and a backing structure. The backing structure comprises a first support layer comprising an aerogel and a second support layer comprising a polymer and is arranged so that the second support layer is provided between the protective layer and the first support layer.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to impact dissipating protective garment (IDPG) including impact mitigating support spacers (IMSS) configured to facilitate dissipation impact energy. In an illustrative example, an IDPG includes a base garment and multiple spacers releasably and adjustably coupled to the base garment. In operation, for example, a wearer may wear a protective armor having an armor plate to cover at least part of the base garment. For example, at least some of the IMSS are adjustably positioned to suspend the armor plate at four distinctive points around a periphery of the armor plate. In some implementations, at least 50% of the armor plate is separated from the wearer by an air gap. Various embodiments may advantageously mitigate impact power transferred to the wearer by dissipating excess energy at the suspended armor plate and at the IMSS.

Protective equipment used in a wide range of sports occupations and other activities and occupations to prevent concussions and other injuries that may absorb shock or force brought on by the kinetic energy from flying objects such as a ball, bat or other moving object. Such protective equipment assembly comprising a wearable assembly and a facemask. The wearable assembly may comprise a chest panel and a pair of shoulder anchors. A chest attachment mechanism may be provided on the chest panel and a shoulder attachment mechanism may be provided on the shoulder anchors. The facemask may be secured to the wearable assembly via the chest attachment mechanism and the shoulder attachment mechanism such that the facemask is not in contact with a neck or a head of a user.

The disclosed apparatus, system and method includes at least a protective garment that prevents concussive effects on internal organs. The garment many include a garment body; and, embedded in the garment body, at least one multi-sectional pad. At least two of the multi-sections may comprise: at least one aramid layer; at least one multi-durometer foam layer having a substantially similar surface area to that provided by the at least one aramid layer; and at least one shield layer.

A torso protection apparatus with a shoulder harness, a shoulder and sleeve assembly, a midsection assembly, a plurality of protective pads, and a back including a plurality of pad housings. The plurality of pad housings includes a stretchable opening and is structured to removably accommodate the plurality of protective pads therein.

A full-body protection gear is disclosed. The protection gear includes a torso protector, an arm protector, and a lower body protector. The torso protector includes a protective vest defining a neck opening, a first arm opening, and a second arm opening. The torso protector includes a front shield, aback shield, a first pair of side shields, a second pair of side shields, a first shoulder shield and a second shoulder shield fixedly disposed on the protective vest. The arm protector includes a first part adapted to cover an upper arm region of a user extending from a shoulder to an elbow, and a second part adapted to be removably coupled with the first part and to cover a lower arm region of the user extending from the elbow to a palm. The lower body protector includes a first part adapted to cover pelvic region and an upper leg region of a user, and a second part removably coupled with the first part in a partial overlapping manner, and adapted to cover lower leg region of the user. The lower leg region is indicative of a region extending from above a knee joint to above an ankle joint of the user.

A protective cup to be worn in women athlete's sports bras to protect against injury and pain from a contact in an aggressive sport. is disclosed. The Unstoppable Protective Cups can be slipped into the athlete's favorite sports bra, go virtually undetected, easy to run in with a flexible cut-out to absorb a blow. They are also lined with softer material to protect the breast from injury further and be worn with comfort.

A combined upper torso covering having a hydration assembly secured thereto which includes a camelback to provide a hydration source for users of the assembly. In one embodiment the upper torso covering is an athletic chest protector which handily provides access to any liquid stored in the camelback via a delivery line and nozzle placed in proximity to the mouth of the user
