A plurality of overlapping protective plates may form a protective device to protect a portion of a wearer's anatomy from impact. Each of the protective plates may have at least one connection point that retains the protective plate in position over the portion of the wearer's anatomy to be protected in an as worn position. The connection points may retain the protective plates to a flexible plate that may be conformed to the portion of the wearer's anatomy to be protected. Alternatively/additionally, the connection points on a protective plate may connect that plate to another protective plate, thereby allowing a structure of interconnected protective plates to be formed.
