Poorly positioned secondary equipment may leave the wearer susceptible to injury. To ensure protection and to prevent movement, this secondary equipment is often further secured to the circumference of the leg by means of adhesive tape, or a hook and loop fastening band. However, the need to secure the secondary equipment with an additional product can be time consuming and cumbersome for the wearer. Furthermore, these securing means are often not entirely effective at preventing movement of the secondary equipment. Therefore, additional means of securement of the secondary protective equipment is desired.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une chaussette de protection qui intègre un rembourrage de protection pour fournir un vêtement unitaire. En tant que tel, la nécessité que rencontre un utilisateur de fréquemment ajuster la position de l'équipement de protection est susceptible d'être réduite. Un rembourrage de protection intégré et souple limite également la quantité d'équipement requis par l'utilisateur. Le rembourrage épouse également le corps de l'utilisateur, et est donc susceptible d'augmenter le confort de l'utilisateur sportif. Une chaussette de protection qui intègre une surface à frottement élevé pour limiter le mouvement de n'importe quel équipement secondaire est également décrite. Une telle restriction empêche le corps d'un utilisateur d'être exposé à une blessure potentielle. Le mouvement de l'équipement secondaire peut également être source de distraction pour l'utilisateur. En tant que telle, la surface à frottement élevé intégrée est susceptible d'apporter à l'utilisateur sportif un avantage de performance. La chaussette peut intégrer le rembourrage de protection et/ou la surface à frottement élevé.
