AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing protective garments for articulations in motocross and mountain biking fail to effectively absorb the tangential component of oblique impacts, leading to increased risk of injuries, while also being cumbersome and costly.
Method used
A protective garment with an inner and outer layer combination, featuring a force deflector layer and inner film made of low-friction materials, allows for a sliding surface to divert tangential impact forces without hindering user movement or comfort.
Benefits of technology
The garment effectively dissipates tangential impact energy, reducing the risk of injuries to articulations by creating a sliding surface between the body and ground, maintaining comfort and simplicity, and minimizing weight and manufacturing costs.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a protective garment 10 for articulations of a human body, suitable for being used in particular by motorcyclists or cyclists. The protective garment 10, at a portion 11 designed in use to be superimposed to an articulation of a body 12 of the user, comprises: - an inner layer 14, which in use is designed to stay close to the body 12 of the user, - an outer layer 16, arranged over said inner layer 14; - a force deflector layer 18, which is positioned between the inner layer 14 and the outer layer 16; the force deflector layer 18 being made of a low friction material. According to the invention, the force deflector layer 18 is bonded to an outer surface of the inner layer 14 and an inner film 20, made of a low friction material, is bonded to an inner surface of the outer layer 16, so as to face and to be in contact with the force deflector layer 18.
