  Further, in the vertical connection line 23 in which the central protective member 2 and the side protective member 3 are sewn together, the first ventilation window portion 21 that communicates the surface side 1a and the back surface side 1b is not vertically connected. Since it formed by the site | part 29, the stuffiness between a user and the center protection member 2 and the side protection member 3 can be reduced, and a user can be made to play comfortably. Hot air can be discharged from between the user and the central protective member 2 and the side protective member 3. Or outside air can be taken in. The connection between the central protection member 2 and the side protection member 3 and the formation of the first ventilation window portion 21 can be performed substantially simultaneously (in the same step) by sewing, and can be easily and quickly manufactured. Hot air and outside air can be made to flow in the front-rear and left-right directions of the human body, and sultry can be prevented quickly and efficiently.

  Further, the side protection member 3 has an upper protection piece 3A and a lower protection piece 3B that are sewn to each other. In the sewn horizontal connection line 33, the side surface 1a and the back side 1b are connected to each other. Since the 2nd ventilation window part 31 which connects is formed of the horizontal connection non-sewing site | part 39, a user can be made to play comfortably. Hot air can be discharged from between the user and the side protection member 3. Or outside air can be taken in. The connection between the upper protective piece 3A and the lower protective piece 3B and the formation of the second ventilation window 31 can be performed substantially simultaneously (in the same step) by sewing, and can be easily and quickly manufactured. Hot air and outside air can be made to flow in the vertical direction of the human body, and sultry can be prevented quickly and efficiently. The upper protective piece 3A and the lower protective piece 3B can be formed into shapes corresponding to the portions to be protected, respectively, and the adhesion can be improved to prevent positional displacement and can be reliably protected.

  Further, since the side protection member 3 has the bent portion 30 that bends in the direction of the back surface in a natural state, the side protection member 3 can be adhered to the human body more reliably and easily. The belt member does not need to be tightened strongly, and can be protected in a close contact state in the back direction (left and right inward) so as to wrap the abdomen, shortening the wearing time and reliably protecting the abdomen.
