Abstract

An impact-protective suit for racquetball that enables the wearer to play aggressively, that permits free unrestricted movement during play and that readily vents body heat. The suit includes a shirt portion and a pants portion, which are made of an outer material, a lining, and a selectively located impact-protective material intermediate the outer material and the lining. The impact-protective material completely covers only the back side of the wearer, the front side of the wearer thereby being uncovered by the protective material.
