[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-3 A thermoplastic carbon fiber protective gear, comprising:

[0027] Lining 100 is made of EVA foam material;

[0028] The outer protective plate 200 is made of thermoplastic carbon fiber material composed of several layers of TPU film 201 and carbon fiber twill interwoven fabric 202 located between two adjacent layers of TPU film 201. The outer protective plate 200 includes knee pad 210 and calf pad 220. Both knee pad 210 and calf pad 220 are connected to the inner lining 100 by rivets 230, and the outer protective plate 200 extends out from all four sides of the inner lining 100.

[0029] The binding strap 300 is located between the inner lining 100 and the outer protective plate 200 in the middle, and extends out of the inner lining 100 and the outer protective plate 200 at both ends. The binding strap 300 is sewn to the inner lining 100.

[0030] The inner lining 100 is made of EVA foam, providing both comfort and cushioning. The outer protective plate 200 is made of thermoplastic carbon fiber composite material, offering superior protection and flexibility, especially at the knee. The thermoplastic material sandwich design, with an outer TPU film 201 protecting the inner carbon fiber twill fabric 202, provides excellent elasticity and adhesion, superior abrasion resistance, and easy processing. It is flexible yet possesses high fatigue strength, allowing for repeated bending and extending the product's lifespan. The inner carbon fiber twill fabric 202 provides both rigidity and flexibility, enhancing comfort and lightweight design while maintaining excellent impact resistance. The outer protective plate 200 features a split design, consisting of a knee pad 210 and a shin guard 220. Unlike common one-piece rigid protective plates, this design allows for greater freedom of movement and is more suitable for competitive sports or skiing.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-2 It also includes a mesh bag 400, which covers the inner lining 100. The mesh bag 400 allows for better ventilation.
