US Patent 12102215 High mobility contoured pad

A high mobility, contoured shoulder and hip pad that can address various needs for body armor, equipment belt, and other types of equipment-users as identified above. The pad is shaped such that the pad can disperse the weight of a body armor system or other load carrying system on the faces of the user's shoulder and trapezius muscle or hip area. The width of the pad can involve reduced dimensions at the middle portion of the pad relative to the width dimensions at the ends of the pad, such as e.g., having an hourglass shape.
