Abstract
An improved multilayer flexible body system, adapted for use in protective sports equipment, is described which comprises in combination in sequence an inner cover layer; a first flexible padding layer; a first elastomer containing woven fabric layer; a woven metal mesh layer; a second elastomer containing woven fabric layer; a second flexible padding layer; and an outer cover layer, each of which are securely bonded together at their periphery. The construction method also ensures that the woven metal mesh layer is free to move between the adjacent fabric layers.
