fastening means, and the additional padding element has a plurality of padding plates which are flexibly connected to one another, one of which covers the thumb rear side, one of which covers the finger rear side and one of which covers the back of the hand.The object is also achieved by a protective kit comprising the following protective devices: a. a torso protection device according to the invention and b. arm protection devices according to the invention and c. thigh protection devices according to the invention and d. knee protection devices according to the invention and e. lower leg protection devices according to the invention and f. a neck protection device according to the invention and g. a helmet according to the invention and h. gloves according to the invention.The padded torso protection according to the invention provides a comprehensive protection of the torso, in particular sensitive body regions such as shoulders, backs, breast and crotch, whereby a high degree of safety is ensured in realistic training situations. The flexible protective element which is closed circumferentially in a sagittal plane is substantially configured as continuous upholstery which, in the fitted state, encloses the body in a manner similar to a textile divider-for example a sleeveless overall. This design permits, on the one hand, a uniform pressure distribution when the impact and foot impacts and, on the other hand, a high freedom of movement. The arrangement of the passage openings for arms and legs facilitates the placement and placement without the acceptance of potential weak points in the protective composite of the torso protection. Due to the preferably continuous padding, the torso protection is suitable, in particular in combination with the further protective equipment articles according to the invention, in particular for training with percussion or training firearms, since it effectively dampens impinging forces and minimizes injuries. At the same time, the interaction with the wearer in combat simulations and / or self-defense simulations is not substantially hindered, so that realistic training scenarios are possible under largely authentic conditions. Due to the circumferentially closed shape in the sagittal plane, the torso protection is securely held on the body without individual parts being able to be displaced disadvantageously. In particular, the protective effect is not limited to a specific area, but extends continuously circumferentially over the breast, shoulders, crotch and back.In the sense of the present application, the term sagittal plane, as is customary in anatomy, means one of the principal planes of the human. It extends longitudinally from front to rear and divides the body into left and right halves.In an advantageous embodiment, the protective element of the torso protection is designed to be structurally closed along the circumferential direction running in the sagittal plane and cannot be opened in a non-destructive manner. This embodiment ensures a particularly high structural integrity of the torso protection and prevents unintentional opening during intensive training units, in particular during dynamic movement sequences in combat sports or in self-defense or deployment training. The circumferentially closure-free protection in the sagittal plane avoids potential weak points and thereby increases the safety of the wearer.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the protective element has a back section and a front section which are connected to one another via two shoulder sections and a crotch section.In a preferred embodiment, the back portion and the front portion are respectively directly and non-detachably connected to the shoulder portions and the crotch portion. This inseparable connection reduces the number of movable or detachable connecting elements, which makes the torso protection more robust and less prone to errors.It can furthermore advantageously be provided that at least components of the individual sections of the torso protection are jointly produced in one piece from the same piece of raw material, in particular: the back section with the shoulder sections and / or the back section with the crotch section and / or the front section with a shoulder section and / or the front section with the crotch section. This integral manufacture avoids potential points of weakness, and increases the structural homogeneity and stability of the torso protection.In particular, at least one component of a first of said sections, for example of the back section, can be produced integrally from the same piece of raw material with at least one component of a second of said sections, for example of a shoulder section. In particular, this can be realized in that the first section and the second section have at least one common, continuous cushioning layer and / or a common outermost and / or innermost layer made of a technical textile, in particular with a water-repellent coating. This one-piece construction brings several essential advantages: on the one hand, the structural integrity of the torso protection is increased, since there is no weakening by connecting seams or transitions. This improves the protective effect, for example in the area of the shoulder and / or the step, which is greatly stressed in many applications-for example in deployment or combat sports training. On the other hand, the one-piece construction contributes to greater flexibility and ergonomy, since stiff or hard transitions are avoided, which considerably improves the wearing comfort.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the torso protection comprises at least one closure device which, in the fitted state, runs between the arm and the leg of the same body side and detachably connects the back section to the front section. This embodiment has the particular advantage that a rapid attachment and detachment of the torso protection is not impeded by the closure device while simultaneously securing a secure seat close to the body. A further preferred variant provides two such closure devices which run on both sides of the body.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which each closure device has a rear and a front flexible wing, which are each firmly connected to the back and front section. These can be connected by means of hook and loop fasteners and overlap one another in the closed position. This construction not only permits simple and rapid closure of the torso protection, but also offers a high flexibility to adapt to different body shapes without having to resort to complex buckle or belt systems, which is alternatively or additionally not excluded, however.In a further advantageous embodiment, each closure device has a rib pad on its side facing the body, which preferably can be released in a non-destructive manner. The rib cushion ensures protection in the case of laterally impinging impacts and / or steps. The rib cushion is preferably flexible and flat and has a cushion which is sheathed by a plane-like, plastic-coated textile material, in particular in the manner of a boat tarpaulin. The rib cushion can advantageously be fastened to one of the wings of the closure device by means of a hook-and-loop connection.In a very particularly advantageous embodiment, the protective element, in particular the back section and / or the front section and / or the shoulder sections and / or the crotch section, is designed in multiple layers. The multilayer construction allows the protective effect and the wearing comfort to be optimized in a targeted manner, for example by combining hard and soft materials.An embodiment in which the outermost and / or the innermost layer of the protective element consists of a technical textile with a water-repellent coating, as are used, for example, in boat tarpaulins, is particularly advantageous in this case. This reliably protects the inside life of the torso protection from moisture, perspiration and other external influences and significantly facilitates cleaning and care. This property facilitates the hygiene care of the torso protection considerably, which is advantageous particularly in the case of frequent or joint use in training centers. Moreover, such an embodiment is very particularly long-lived.Between the outermost and the innermost layer, a plurality of, in particular exactly three, layers of different flexible materials, in particular foam materials, can advantageously be arranged. In particular, a plurality of layers of material may be present which have different physical properties, in particular different stiffness, elasticity, bulk density, cell structure, tensile strength and / or thickness.The other protective equipment described within the scope of this application (such as arm protection device, thigh protection device, knee protection device, lower leg protection device, neck protection device, helmet, gloves) can also be configured completely or partially in this manner.However, it is also possible for these protective equipment items (or at least one of these protective equipment items) to have only a single layer of a damping material, in particular an elastic foam material, between an outermost and an innermost layer of a technical textile, for example in the manner of a boat tarpaulin. In this way, the protective equipment items remain sufficiently light so as not to unduly restrict or not to restrict the movability of the wearer.In a very particularly advantageous embodiment, at least one of the layers consists of a viscoelastic foam with memory effect. The viscoelastic foam with memory effect can advantageously have a density which is less than 200 kg / m 3.Between the layer of a viscoelastic foam with memory effect and the person wearing the torso protection, at least one further foam layer, in particular of another foam material, can advantageously be present. The memory-effect viscoelastic foam sheet responds to external force such as impacts and steps by temporary deformation and gradually returns to its original shape after use with some time delay. External forces are thereby reliably absorbed and pressure peaks are reduced.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the torso protection comprises at least one layer of an elastic foam material, which is preferably non-viscoelastic, for example polyurethane foam. This layer makes possible a particularly good adaptation to the body contour of the wearing person and, in particular as an innermost foam layer facing the wearing person, makes possible a good damping and pressure distribution in the event of external force actions such as impacts and steps.In a very particularly advantageous embodiment, a flexible force distribution layer is provided between the layer of viscoelastic foam with memory effect and the layer of elastic foam material, which can consist in particular of a rubber-like foam. This intermediate layer is stronger than the two other layers and serves to distribute punctiform external forces over a larger surface, which both increases the protective effect and extends the service life of the materials. The force distribution layer can advantageously likewise consist of a viscoelastic foam, in particular with a density in the range from 190 kg / m 3 to 300 kg / m 3.In a preferred embodiment, the layer of viscoelastic foam with memory effect has a thickness in the range from 2 to 3 cm, in particular of 2.4 cm. This dimension offers an optimum compromise between flexibility and protective effect: such a thickness is sufficient to absorb high energy inputs without unduly restricting the freedom of movement of the wearing person.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the layer of elastic foam material, in particular of polyurethane foam, has a thickness in the range from 3 to 5 cm, in particular of 3 cm. This layer thickness ensures reliable damping. At the same time, the total weight of the torso protection remains in a portable frame, which is of importance in particular in the case of longer wearing times.In a further embodiment, the force distribution layer has a thickness in the range from 0.5 to 1.5 cm, in particular of 1 cm. This thickness is sufficient to achieve an effective area distribution of external forces without the layer itself becoming too stiff or unnecessarily increasing the overall profile of the torso protection.As already mentioned, an embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the layer of viscoelastic foam material with memory effect faces away from the body, while the layer of elastic foam material faces the body. This arrangement optimally utilizes the respective material properties: the soft, conformable layer of elastic foam material, for example polyurethane foam, acts directly in cushioning fashion, while the viscoelastic layer effectively absorbs external forces and preferably transmits them to the force distribution layer lying therebetween for area distribution.In a very particularly advantageous embodiment, the torso protection has two, preferably removable, flat and flexible shoulder protection elements. Such shoulder protection elements provide targeted protection for sensitive regions in the transition to an arm protection device without weighting the overall protection or impairing the mobility of the arms. Due to their flexibility, they adapt to different body shapes and make possible a modular design of the protection system. In particular, the shoulder protection elements can be designed such that, in the fitted state, they overlap with the upper end of an arm protection device.It is particularly advantageous if the shoulder protection elements each have a padding which is sheathed by a plane-like, plastic-coated textile material. This combination provides not only mechanical protection and shock absorption, but also a water repellent surface which improves protection in outdoor training units or in high weld development.In an advantageous embodiment, each shoulder protection element has a first hook-and-loop flap which can be looped around a shoulder section of the torso protection for fastening the shoulder protection element. This allows simple and quick assembly and disassembly of the shoulder protection elements.Moreover, each shoulder protection element can have at least one second hook-and-loop flap which is wrapped around the upper arm of the wearing person in order to fasten the shoulder protection element. This additional fixing prevents slipping during the movement and ensures that the protection remains in the intended position even in the case of dynamic training units.In an advantageous embodiment, the torso protection additionally has a deep protection. Such a deep protection serves to protect the sensitive genital area from painful hits or impacts, as can occur in particular in combat sports or in training in use.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the crotch portion of the torso protection comprises the deep protection or in which the deep protection itself forms the crotch portion. In this embodiment, the wearing comfort is increased in particular, since no additional parts are necessary which would have to be fastened separately.In another embodiment, the deep protection is detachably fastened, in particular by means of a zipper, hook and loop fastener, magnetic fastener or snap fastener, to the inner side of the protection element, in particular to the inner side of the crotch portion. This type of fastening enables simple assembly and disassembly of the depth guard, for example for the purpose of cleaning or for individual replacement in different training units. The non-destructive releasability contributes to the longevity of the entire protection system and enables simple maintenance.In an advantageous embodiment, the deep protection is designed to be multi-layered. A multilayer structure allows different material properties to be combined in a targeted manner, for example a soft, skin-friendly inner layer with a dimensionally stable outer layer or an intermediate shock-absorbing layer. This significantly increases the protective effect without restricting the mobility or the wearing comfort.It is particularly advantageous if the outermost and / or the innermost layer of the depth guard consists of a technical textile with a water-repellent coating, in particular in the manner of a boat tarpaulin. Such a coating prevents liquids such as perspiration or rain from penetrating into the deep protection and leading to odor formation or material fatigue there. At the same time, it ensures high tear strength and resistance to mechanical stress.In an advantageous embodiment, the deep protection also comprises a layer of a viscoelastic foam with memory effect. The memory-effect viscoelastic foam sheet responds to external force such as impacts and steps by temporary deformation and gradually returns to its original shape after use with some time delay. External forces are thereby reliably absorbed and pressure peaks are reduced.In a further advantageous embodiment, the deep protection can additionally have a layer made of an elastic foam material, which is preferably not viscoelastic, in particular polyurethane foam. This foam material offers good damping properties and advantageously supplements the function of the viscoelastic layer. The combination of the two materials results in particular in a protection system which is effective both in the case of punctiform and also in the case of extensive actions of force.In an advantageous embodiment, the deep protection comprises a rigid protective cap. This protective cap represents a particularly robust barrier against strong mechanical influences, such as can occur, for example, in steps, impacts or the impact on hard objects. The combination of soft and rigid protective materials increases the safety level considerably. The rigid protective cap can advantageously be produced by the 3D printing method. The 3D pressure enables complex geometries to be realized that are adapted to the human anatomy and that would not be producible or could only be produced with difficulty using conventional production methods. In addition, the 3D pressure allows a specific variation of the wall thicknesses and individualized production, which leads to a particularly precise and effective protective effect.As already mentioned, an arm protection device is particularly advantageous, which can be used advantageously in combination with the above-described torso protection. The arm protection device is flexible and flat and has a padding which is sheathed by a plane-like, plastic-coated textile material. The padding serves to protect against external mechanical forces such as impacts, steps and impacts, while the plastic-coated textile material offers a robust, water-repellent and easy-to-clean surface. This combination of protective effect, flexibility and hygiene handling makes the device attractive in particular for sporting applications and use in training applications.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the arm protection device is designed to completely enclose an arm. Complete enclosure of the arm provides a uniform protective effect over the entire length and circumference of the arm and prevents slippage of the device during rapid movements. This allows simple handling without additional fixing aids such as belts or loops, which is not, however, fundamentally ruled out.The arm protection device can advantageously have a plurality of predetermined bending points in the longitudinal direction, which facilitate the adaptation to the arm shape and / or the complete enclosing of the arm. These predetermined bending points allow ergonomic adaptation of the device to the individual anatomy of the wearer. The targeted introduction of bending zones simplifies the placement and fixing, and pressure points and the formation of folds are avoided. The arm protection device can thereby adapt to the natural shape of the arm without restricting the mobility.In an advantageous embodiment, the arm protection device has further predetermined bending points, which facilitate bending of the arm. These predetermined bending points are provided in particular in the region of the elbow joint and support the freedom of movement of the carrier when bending and stretching the arm. This is particularly advantageous because it is particularly advantageous in combat sports and in tactian operations, in which arm movements are required. At the same time, the protective effect in the region of the joint is retained.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the arm protection device in the flat initial state has two substantially parallel longitudinal edges, a transverse edge substantially perpendicular to these longitudinal edges-which edge faces the wrist in the fitted state-and an edge bent in a wave shape opposite the transverse edge. This geometric shape facilitates the targeted placement of the device and ensures an anatomical fit. The wavy edge is arranged in the fitted state at the top laterally next to the shoulder of the wearer.An embodiment is also particularly advantageous in which the longitudinal edges of the arm protection device are each provided with hook-and-loop or fluff tapes in order to close the arm protection device in the fitted position. This type of closure permits rapid and individual adaptation to different arm diameters and simple attachment and detachment of the device without additional aids. The hook-and-loop connection ensures a secure hold even in the case of intensive movements and is at the same time reusable and durable.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the arm protection device is substantially tubular in the fitted and closed position. This shape ensures a uniform enclosure of the arm, whereby the protective effect is distributed over the entire arm periphery. At the same time, the tubular design increases the stability without impairing the flexibility. This offers an optimum compromise between protection, wearing comfort and freedom of movement.As already mentioned, a thigh protection device is particularly advantageous, which can be advantageously used in combination with the above-described torso protection. The thigh protection device is flexible and flat and has a padding which is surrounded by a plane-like, plastic-coated textile material. Due to the flat configuration, the device can be easily placed on and hardly worn under or over further equipment. The flexibility enables adaptation to different thigh contours and ensures high wearing comfort even in the case of prolonged use. The padding serves to cushion impacts, while the plastic-coated textile material is durable and water-repellent. It thus protects not only from mechanical loads but also from external influences such as moisture, dirt and abrasion, which is particularly advantageous in training operations.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the thigh protection device is designed to completely enclose a thigh. A complete enclosure ensures a uniform protective effect and prevents the device from slipping or twisting during movement.The thigh protection device can advantageously have a fastening tab which is designed to be fastened to one of the closure devices of the torso protection device according to the invention, in particular overlapping by means of a hook and loop fastening. This embodiment enables a simple, stable and at the same time flexible coupling of the thigh protection device to the torso protection. In particular, a continuous lateral protection of the thigh and the ribs is achieved. In addition, this results in a uniform and advantageous protection system in which the components do not slip against one another and help avoid gaps in the protection. The hook-and-loop connection allows rapid fastening and continuous adaptation to individual body proportions.In an advantageous embodiment, the longitudinal edges of the thigh protection device are each provided with hook and loop tapes or fluff tapes in order to close the thigh protection device in the fitted position. This type of closure enables rapid placement and placement as well as individual adaptation to the circumference of the thigh. Velcro and fluff tapes simultaneously provide reliable fixing during the movement and can be opened and closed many times without losing functionality. This achieves a high degree of re-useability and user-friendliness.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the thigh protection device is tubular in the fitted and closed position at least in a subsection. The tubular shape provides for a uniform enclosure of the thigh and increases the stability of the device, in particular under dynamic loading. This also helps to securely hold the device in place without requiring additional holding systems, but this is not excluded.As already mentioned, a knee protection device is particularly advantageous, which can be advantageously used in combination with the above-described thigh protection device, in particular fastened thereto. The knee protection device is flexible and flat and has a padding which is sheathed by a plane-like, plastic-coated textile material. The padding serves to protect against external mechanical forces such as impacts, steps and impacts, while the plastic-coated textile material offers a robust, water-repellent and easy-to-clean surface.In particular, it can advantageously be provided that an edge region of the knee protection device has a fastening means, in particular a hook and loop or fluff tape, for fastening to the inner side of the thigh protection device. This embodiment allows a secure and at the same time flexible coupling of the knee protection device to the thigh protection device, whereby a slipping or a formation of protection gaps between the two protection components can be effectively prevented. By being attached to the inner side of the thigh protection device, the connection remains protected from external influences. In addition, the fastening can be easily and quickly released and restored by means of hook and loop tapes, which is of great advantage in particular in the case of frequent application and removal of the equipment or in the case of changing wear requirements.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the knee protection device is designed to be bent in the fitted state and to cover the knee of a user in the region of the patella and the knee sides. The preformed bend orients itself to the natural anatomy of the human knee and allows a snug, comfortable fit without wrinkling or compression sites. At the same time, it allows complete coverage of the sensitive regions of the knee, in particular of the exposed patella and of the lateral and medial sides. This not only increases the protection against direct impacts and lateral loads, but also does not impair mobility.As already mentioned, a lower leg protection device is particularly advantageous, which can be used advantageously in combination with the above-described protection devices. The lower leg protection device is flexible and flat and has a padding which is sheathed by a plane-like, plastic-coated textile material. The padding serves to protect against external mechanical forces such as impacts, steps and impacts, while the plastic-coated textile material offers a robust, water-repellent and easy-to-clean surface.In an advantageous embodiment, the lower leg protection device is designed to completely enclose a lower leg. This complete enclosure ensures comprehensive protection of the entire lower leg from mechanical influences such as impacts, impacts or steps, which is of high relevance in particular in training or use situations. At the same time, the closed design effectively prevents the protective device from slipping, which both increases the wearing comfort and ensures a consistent protective effect.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the lower leg protection device has a plurality of predetermined bending points in the longitudinal direction, which facilitate the complete enclosing of the lower leg. These predetermined bending points enable a flexible adaptation of the protective device to the individual leg shape of the user. In addition, the predetermined bending points facilitate the attachment and detachment of the lower leg protection device.The lower leg protection device can advantageously have in the flat initial state two substantially parallel longitudinal edges, a transverse edge substantially perpendicular to these longitudinal edges, which in the fitted state faces the ankle joint, and an edge bent in a wave shape opposite the transverse edge. This specific shape also ensures that a termination is formed in the region of the ankle joint, which combines freedom of movement with a good protective cover. The wavy bent edge is arranged in the area of the knee in the applied state and preferably under the above-mentioned knee protection device.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the longitudinal edges of the lower leg protection device are each provided with hook-and-loop or fluff tapes in order to close the lower leg protection device in the fitted position. The use of such closure means allows simple, quick and repeatable attachment of the device, whereby the degree of enclosure can be individually adjusted. This is advantageous in particular in order to enable rapid setting-up or depositing or rapid readjustment of the fit.The lower leg protection device can be substantially tubular in the fitted and closed position. Such a tubular geometry ensures a uniform distribution of the padding around the lower leg and ensures a high wear comfort with a simultaneously stable fit.An embodiment is particularly advantageous in which the lower leg protection device has a tension protection device which is designed to cover the tension of the user's foot in the fitted position. Inclusion of the span within the scope extends the scope of the lower leg protection device. The tension protection device protects a further sensitive and frequently exposed area of the body, in particular in steps from the front or from below. The additional protection of the span thus increases the suitability of the device for more intensive training units or realistic use scenarios.The tension protection device is preferably attached in an articulated manner to a lower leg protection section of the lower leg protection device.In an advantageous embodiment, the tension protection device has a hook-and-loop flap which can be wrapped around the foot of the user for fastening the tension protection device. This construction permits reliable fixing of the tension protection device without unnecessarily restricting the mobility of the foot. The hook-and-loop flap can be individually adapted to different foot shapes, which increases the wearing comfort and at the same time prevents unintentional detachment of the device.As already mentioned, a neck protection device is particularly advantageous, which can be advantageously used in combination with the protection devices described above. The neck protection device is flexible and flat and has a padding which is surrounded by a plane-like, plastic-coated textile material. The padding serves to protect against external mechanical forces such as impacts, steps and impacts, while the plastic-coated textile material offers a robust, water-repellent and easy-to-clean surface.The neck protection device can advantageously be designed in the manner of a collar to completely enclose a neck. In particular, the neck protection device in the flat initial state can have a straight longitudinal edge which, in the fitted state, is oriented upward, and an edge which is bent in a wave shape and lies opposite the longitudinal edge and, in the fitted state, is oriented downward. This achieves a good fit, in particular in combination with the torso protection according to the invention and the helmet according to the invention.The ends of the neck protection device can each be provided with hook and loop tape in order to be able to close the neck protection device in the fitted position.A helmet is particularly advantageous which can be used in particular in combination with the torso protection. The helmet is padded and has a face recess. The cushioning serves to absorb impact energies and thus increases the protective effect in the case of direct hits in training or use operation.The inner side of the helmet preferably consists of a wiping material. This choice of material facilitates cleaning considerably, in particular after welding-intensive or dust-loaded inserts. In addition, the smooth, wiping-resistant surface contributes to the hygiene and longevity of the helmet, since soiling can be quickly removed and odor formation can be reduced. The combination of robust padding and easy-to-care interior fittings makes the helmet ideal for repeated use, in particular even by different persons.A cushioned helmet is particularly advantageous, in which a fastening means, such as a hook and loop tape, is provided in the area of the face recess, in particular circumferentially. This fastening means enables the selective attachment of a flexible window element (in particular a flexible pane, for example made of Plexiglass or a transparent film) or a flexible grid, which are provided on the edge with a corresponding counter fastening means. The great advantage of this embodiment lies in the modular adaptability of the helmet to different protection requirements: while the flexible window element protects in particular from particles of FX training ammunition, the flexible grid offers in particular protection against impacts, steps and in particular stitches with striking and / or stab weapons.In an advantageous development, the flexible window element can additionally be provided with a further fastening means, for example a hook and loop or fluff tape, so that the grid can be fastened to the flexible window element already attached to the helmet body. This staggered attachment allows a combination of both protection elements in such a way that the flexible window element is attached directly to the helmet and the flexible grid can be positioned in front of it as an additional protection layer.Alternatively, it can advantageously be provided that the grid is provided with a fastening means which enables a fastening of the flexible window element to the grid already fastened to the helmet body. This arrangement allows a reverse lamination in which the flexible window element is mounted on the outside of the grid.In a very particularly advantageous embodiment, a further grid with a further counter fastening means can additionally be provided, so that the flexible window element is arranged between two grids, preferably in each case at a distance. This double grid arrangement offers a particularly high degree of protection, in particular when simultaneously using firing, piercing and training firearms.In addition, it can be provided that the grid, the further grid and / or the flexible window element are provided with a spacer in order to arrange these elements at a defined distance from one another, in particular at a distance of more than 1 cm. The use of a spacer greatly enhances the protective effect, as this creates an elastically acting intermediate zone by which impact forces or projectiles and projectile particles are effectively decelerated from the outermost grid before they reach the flexible window element.Quite generally, it can be provided that the helmet has a further opening spatially between the face recess and the neck recess. This additional opening serves to improve ventilation or communication without substantially impairing the protective effect of the helmet. The placement between the two main recesses allows an air exchange in the lower face region, which is perceived as pleasant in particular when the helmet is worn for a longer time.In an advantageous embodiment, the additional opening is closed by a grid. This grid can be made of flexible, shock-resistant material and on the one hand offers protection against penetrating objects and particles, but on the other hand also a substantially unhindered air circulation. Thus, the protective function of the helmet is maintained while at the same time the wearing comfort is increased.Furthermore, it can advantageously be provided that the helmet-apart from the face recess, the neck recess and the optional further opening-does not have any further openings. This embodiment offers a particularly compact, closed protective structure which minimizes contact surfaces and represents a robust barrier against mechanical influences and projectiles or projectile particles. At the same time, the cleaning effort is reduced, since no openings that are difficult to access are present.In addition, it can be provided that the helmet is closed in the area of the ears. This embodiment particularly effectively protects the sensitive ear regions from direct impacts, lateral force effects, as well as projectiles and projectile particles.In particular, the helmet can advantageously be designed in such a way that it resists the impact of FX training ammunition without damage. This relates in particular to the use in training environments for police or military units in which realistic scenarios are simulated with FX marking systems. The resistance to such projectiles permits an intensive, safe exercise operation with a simultaneously high protective effect for the wearer.As already mentioned, a padded glove, in particular in the manner of a box glove, is particularly advantageous, which can be used advantageously in combination with the above-described protective devices. The padding serves to protect the user's hand during impacts and reduces the risk of injury to both the wearer and a training partner.The glove can be provided in the region of the palm with an elongated opening for inserting the fingers and with a separate opening for inserting the thumb. This configuration enables dual use of the glove: On the one hand, the glove can be used with fully enclosed fingers and thumb like a conventional striking glove. On the other hand, the alternative use with fingers and thumbs guided through the openings allows objects, training weapons or training partners to be gripped, which is advantageous in particular for realistic scenarios and tactistic practice.The transition between the two types of use can be made quickly and uncomplicated without the glove having to be fully extended. As a result, the training flow is not interrupted, and the glove remains flexibly usable even in dynamic situations. This versatility greatly enhances the convenience of practice and contributes to the glove being suitable for both training impacts and gripping techniques-an advantage especially in the field of training in use or combat.Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the shaft of the glove is cushioned and designed in such a way that it protects the forearm of the user, in particular up to the elbow. This additional padding extends the protection area of the glove clearly beyond the hand and thus contributes to minimizing risks of injury in contact situations, for example during blocking of impacts or during short-range training. The continuous padding up to the elbow supports a uniform pressure distribution and reduces point loads. The shaft can advantageously be arranged under the arm protection device described above, whereby a double protection is achieved in the region of the forearm.Quite generally, a glove is particularly advantageous which has an additional cushioning element on its outer side. In particular, hook and loop tape or fluff tape can serve as the fastening means, which enables simple removability and exchangeability of the cushioning element. The additional cushioning element can have a plurality of cushioning plates flexibly connected to one another, one covering the thumb back side, one covering the finger back side and one covering the hand back side. This structure not only provides comprehensive protection for particularly exposed areas of the hand, but also allows good mobility and flexibility, since the movably connected cushion plates can adapt to the hand movements. By means of the removable configuration, the upholstery element can be replaced or adapted depending on the situation, if necessary, which is advantageous in particular in the case of changing training centroids or in the case of damage to individual upholstery segments. This configuration thus allows a high flexibility of the glove to adapt to different use conditions and user preferences.The subject matter of the invention is illustrated by way of example and schematically in the drawing and is described below with reference to the figures, wherein identical or identically acting elements are also usually provided with the same reference numerals in different exemplary embodiments.
