         3 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 1  wherein the breathable portions include one or more mesh portions. 
     
     
         4 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 1  wherein the breathable portions include one or more fabric portions. 
     
     
         5 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 1  wherein the energy absorbing portions include one or more padded portions. 
     
     
         6 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 5  wherein the one or more padded portions include a batting-type material. 
     
     
         7 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 5  wherein the one or more padded portions include a foam-type material. 
     
     
         8 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 5  wherein the one or more padded portions include one or more multi-layer padded portions. 
     
     
         9 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 1  further comprising one or more drain pouches configured to receive a drain assembly. 
     
     
         10 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 1  further comprising a flap assembly configured to be positioned within another piece of clothing. 
     
     
         11 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 1  further comprising a fastening system configured to fasten the undergarment about the wearer. 
     
     
         12 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 1  wherein the energy absorbing portion is configured to be positioned in one or more locations chosen from the group consisting of: proximate the upper chest of the wearer; proximate the abdomen of the wearer; proximate the upper back of the wearer; and proximate the lower back of the wearer. 
     
     
         13 . An impact adsorbing undergarment comprising:
 one or more breathable portions;   one or more energy absorbing portions configured to be positioned proximate an area of the user to be protected; and   one or more drain pouches configured to receive a drain assembly;   wherein the energy absorbing portions include one or more padded portions.   
     
     
         14 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 13  wherein the one or more padded portions include a batting-type material. 
     
     
         15 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 13  wherein the one or more padded portions include a foam-type material. 
     
     
         16 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 13  wherein the one or more padded portions include one or more multi-layer padded portions. 
     
     
         17 . An impact adsorbing undergarment comprising:
 one or more breathable portions;   one or more energy absorbing portions configured to be positioned proximate an area of the user to be protected;   a flap assembly configured to be positioned within another piece of clothing; and   a fastening system configured to fasten the undergarment about the wearer.   
     
     
         18 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 17  wherein the breathable portions include one or more open portions. 
     
     
         19 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 17  wherein the energy absorbing portions include one or more padded portions. 
     
     
         20 . The impact adsorbing undergarment of  claim 17  wherein the one or more padded portions include material chosen from the group consisting of: a batting-type material and a foam-type material.
