Forearm protector

Abstract

A body protection system includes a forearm protector having an outer plate attached to an outer pad, the outer plate and outer pad positionable for protecting an outer portion of a forearm. The forearm protector also includes an inner plate attached to an inner pad, the inner plate and inner pad positionable for protecting an inner portion of the forearm. The inner plate and the outer plate are adjustably and releaseably reconnectable to one another for permitting adjustment with respect to one another for receiving different forearm circumferences therebetween. The forearm protector of claim may further include at least one additional pad connectable to the inner pad providing added padding for increased protection to the forearm.
