The members are at least slightly downwardly divergent and the outer member includes a lower end portion projecting below the lower end of the inner member. The knee guard defined by the inner and outer members may be secured to the user's thigh by tape bands encircling the thigh and overlying the outer surface of the inner member. The lower end portion of the outer member is to be horizontally registered with the associated knee and includes padding structure supported from the inner side thereof.
