The protector consists of a flexible inner member at least partially covering the part of the body being protected, an outer rigid shell and fasteners (61, 62, 63). The shell is in two or more sections (40, 41) connected by hinges (42) which can be adjusted before fixing with locking elements (5) in the form of straps with buckles or Velcro (RTM) strips. The hinges can be made by zones of reduced thickness.
