Clinically proven to reduce fall related hip fractures. Comfortable to wear with no visible broadening of the hips the HIPS protection system diverts the impact of blows or bumps away from the fragile hip bone and into the surrounding soft tissue. This easy to use hip protection system may be used with specially designed HIPS pants or with users own short legged tight fitting underpants. Because HIPS is not permanently fixed and may be swapped between pants only one pair of protectors is needed per user thus reducing the cost of full time protection.Weight per pair 140g.
