Abstract
A pocket formed on the inside of the knees of a pair of firefighters pants supports a plurality of flexible gas-filled modules which are unconnected to one another and are disposed in abutting relationship to provide a continuous cushion and thermal barrier over the knee cap and surrounding knee area of a firefighter. A detachable closure closes the pocket and allows individual modules to be removed and replaced.
