Protective loincloth garment for motorcycle riders

Abstract

A protective loincloth garment as shown in FIG. 1 and generally referred to as 30, serving to shield and insulate the sensitive groin and inner thighs from cold, wind, and wet weather while the wearer sits astride a motocycle. An aesthetic, comfortable, flexible, insulated, wind and weather resistant protective garment that depends in front of the groin and inner thigh areas by means of suspensory straps 10 placed so as to not interfere with the functioning of conventional belt, chaps or clothing. The garment 30 is partially or fully detachable from conventional chaps, belt or belt loops by means of a plurality of decorative or simple fasteners 16-18 attached to the suspensory straps 10. The terminals of the suspensory straps 10 pass over a belt or through belt loops and then secure to the protective garment body 50 by coupling the fasteners 16-18. The protective garment 30 is of a length L to securely tuck between the legs. The body of the protective loincloth garment 30 is composed of a wind and weather resistant outer surface 12, such as leather, and a comfortable and insulating inner surface (illustrated in FIGS. 2, 3 and 5) such as fleece. These surfaces are bonded together by a flexible, temperature and water resistant cement, glue or adhesive (best illustrated in FIG. 3). For added durability, decorative or simple rivets 20 further secure the outer and inner surfaces together. This forms the garment body 50. The protective garment 30 may include one or more pockets with or without fastenings or closures and/or non-functional embellishments, and/or appendages which tuck into the upper thigh area of loose fitting chaps (illustrated in FIG. 6).
