Abstract: A quickly replaceable padding for athletic gear and the like, comprised of a depressible core coextensively bonded within an envelope of impervious sanitary material and to which a first element of a hook and loop fastener is anchored by sewing to a doubler coextensively bonded between the core and envelope, the padding being attached by securement to an overlying structural member to which a second element of the hook and loop fastener is attached, thereby establishing primary high shear anchorage that holds the pad in position, and in each instance held against separation by secondary securement repeatedly enforced by compressive forces applied through overlying garments.

Abstract: A quickly replaceable padding for athletic gear and the like, comprised of a depressible core coextensively bonded within an envelope of impervious sanitary material and to which at least one strap is anchored by sewing to a doubler coextensively bonded between the core and envelope, the padding being attached by primary securement to an overlying structural member by turning of the strap over a bitt formed on the structural member and thereby establishing a bite that holds the pad in position, and in each instance held secure by secondary securement of the strap by hook-and-loop fastener elements pulling in the plane of interface engagement between overlapped secondary fastener elements.
