Abstract
Protection for a body part of a user, such as a leg protection for a football player, comprising a stiff protective plate with a shape being adapted to the body part. This protective plate, which preferably is fiber reinforced, displays an outer surface arranged to be turned away from the user and an inner surface arranged to be turned facing the user. One or more shock absorbing elements, such as strips or cones, are arranged on the inner surface of the protective plate, along the periphery of the protective plate. Thereby a protection is achieved which has a low weight, is gentle to the skin and stays well in place.
