A knee pad for protecting the knee area of a wearer, comprising: a waterproof, elastic neoprene body portion having first and second ends and concave first and second sides which define a nominal wall thickness therebetween, said body portion being bounded by a plurality of elongated side edges, said body portion adapted to fit over the knee area of said wearer; means for cushioning said knee area during impact, said means for cushioning comprising a resilient member rigidly secured to said body portion second side by an overlapping patch of material stitched to said body portion second side, said means for cushioning further comprising a flexible patch which integrally defines an aperture therethrough, said flexible patch rigidly attached to said first side of said body portion in the center thereof and disposed in general alignment with said resilient member; and means for releasably securing said body portion over said knee area and around the leg of said wearer, said means for releasably securing comprising: a first patch of hook material rigidly attached to and integral with said second side of said body portion proximal to said first end thereof; a second patch of hook material rigidly attached to and integral with said second side of said body portion proximal to said second end thereof; a pair of transversely disposed first flaps unitarily formed in said body portion proximal to said first end thereof, one of said pair of first flaps having loop material disposed on one face thereof, and defining a slot extending through said loop material and the corresponding flap, respectively; a pair of transversely disposed second flaps unitarily formed in said body portion proximal to said second end thereof, one of said pair of second flaps having loop material disposed on one face thereof, and defining a slot extending through said loop material and the corresponding flap, respectively; and a pair of elongated, planar straps, each rigidly attached to one of said pair of first and second flaps, respectively, each strap having hook material and loop material disposed on opposing faces thereof, whereby said pairs of first and second flaps may be wrapped around said leg of said wearer and said elongated planar straps may be inserted through said slots such that said loop material on said straps releasably engages said first and second patches of hook material on said body portion, respectively, and said loop material on one of said first and second flaps releasably engages said hook material on one side of each of said elongated planar straps, whereby said body portion first side and said means for cushioning are maintained in intimate association with said knee area by wrapping said means for releasably securing around said leg, thereby forming a protective structure which is capable of cushioning and protecting said knee area from potential injurious falls which could be sustained while utilizing an athletic device.
