  • pad component 300 may facilitate a flexion, extension, or rotation of the body of a wearer in the corresponding area.
  • Pairs of regions 350 straddling an area of textile component 110 may also serve to accommodate variety in the size and shape of the corresponding portion of the body of a wearer. This may allow pad components 300 to be incorporated into articles of apparel that are suitable for a relatively wide range of wearers.
  • an advantage of securing pad component 300 to garment component 110 along attachment regions 350 is that a majority of pad component 300 is decoupled from garment component 110. A majority of pad component 110 may thus flex, slide, rotate, or otherwise move relative to pad component 110. Additionally, as garment component 110 stretches or contracts, attachment regions 350 may accordingly move further apart from each other or closer to each other without hindering the motion of garment component 110. Pad component 300 may therefore accommodate shifts in garment component 110 due to the movements in the body of a wearer.
  • Figures 1-8C depict a pants-type garment incorporating pad components 300. Other types of garments may similarly incorporate pad components 300.
