Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a goal-keeper pad which comprises a heavily padded body defining an upper thigh section, an intermediate leg section and a lower foot section. The outer coverings in the lower rear areas of the leg section and of the foot section have cut-out portions which are covered with an accordion-like joint sewn to the coverings. The joint is formed of an arrangement of bands and pieces of material interconnected and folded together by sewing, the band material being stretchable, the pieces of material being highly resistant.
