Abstract

A combination of a compression garment and a custom fitted armor plate is disclosed that protects a specific body part of a wearer. The compression garment is formed with at least one compartment for receiving and supporting the custom fitted body armor plate against the wearer's body part to be protected. The compression garment conforms to the wearer's body and the compression features of the garment tightly press the armor against the wearer's body thereby maintaining the armor in precise position during active and/or sometimes violent sporting and athletic activities.
