Abstract
A leg protection system selectively covers a person's lower leg and knee for protection against environmental elements. The leg protection system comprises a first protective cover and a second protective cover which are selectively attachable to each other to define a single leg protection system. The first protective cover is adapted to cover the front and side portions of a wearer's knee. The first protective cover has a top portion and a bottom portion, whereby the top and bottom portions are formed of a flexible material for generally fitting the contour of the knee. The bottom portion has a first releasable strap assembly adapted to extend behind the wearer's leg to operatively attach the first protective cover over the knee. The second protective cover is adapted to cover the front and side portions of a wearer's lower leg. The second protective cover is formed of a flexible material for generally fitting the contour of the lower leg. The second protective cover has a second releasable strap assembly adapted to extend behind the wearer's lower leg to operatively attach the second protective cover to the lower leg. The first and second protective covers are selectively attachable adjacent their respective bottom and top edges to define, when so attached, a single leg protective system.
