Protective pad using a damping component

A protective pad comprising:

• an impact shell formed from a first material, the impact shell comprised of
• (1) an exterior surface and an opposite interior surface, the interior surface of the impact shell having a curved profile extending outwardly in a direction of the outer surface from a medial edge to an opposite lateral edge, and
• (2) a perimeter defined, at least in part by the medial edge, the opposite lateral edge, a top edge, and an opposite bottom edge;
• a damping lattice positioned proximate the interior surface of the impact shell, the damping lattice is formed of a second material that is different from the first material, the damping lattice is comprised of
• (1) a plurality of interconnected joining members having an outer surface and an opposite inner surface;
• (2) a plurality of voids extending between the outer surface and the inner surface formed by the plurality of interconnected joining members;
• and
• (3) a plurality of extension members extending between the inner surface of the damping lattice and the interior surface of the impact shell the plurality of extension members including a first extension member comprising a first distal end positioned opposite the inner surface of the damping lattice and a first offset defined by a first distance that the first extension member extends from the inner surface of the damping lattice to the first distal end and a second extension member comprising a second distal end positioned opposite the inner surface of the damping lattice and a second offset defined by a second distance that the second extension member extends from the inner surface of the damping lattice to the second distal end that is different than the first distance;
• a coupling frame continuously surrounding the perimeter of the impact shell;
• and
• the damping lattice affixed to the impact shell by way of the coupling frame.
