WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

Hip Protectors are worn by people to help prevent hip injuries and fractures if they fall. The Pelican Hip Protector Pants come in either a female or male style, and a variety of sizes. Pants are made from a stretchy, moisture-wicking Micromesh material. As well as a shape difference, the male style has a fly in them. We use soft foam pads to offer excellent impact absorption. The pads fit into pockets in the sides of the Pants.

Features of the Pelican Hip Protector Pads:

Soft, flexible, impact-resistant foam, which becomes more supple when it warms up after being next to the skin
0.5cm / 0.2” soft breathable foam holds the sealed internal impact-absorbing green foam away from the skin to allow for good air circulation
Good-sized pads to offer good coverage of the greater trochanter (hip bone)

The Hip Protector Pad options are:

SuperSoft Washable Pads (179SSW): Our most popular pad, which is fully washable
SuperSoft Washable Pads T5 (179SSWT5): A heavy-duty option that is thicker than the SuperSoft Washable pads

The Foam pads can be sewn in place in the pockets of the pants. Please contact us if you require this.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

This product may help people who at are risk of injuries from falls.

What type of Pads are best?

By far our most popular Pads are the white SuperSoft Washable Pads (Item # 179SSW). They can be washed, and are generally well-accepted by a person wearing them because they are not too thick. The white SuperSoft Washable T5 pads are slightly thicker, offering better impact absorption. They can also be washed The green SuperSoft Pads are good for situations where the pads do not need to be washed. All of the Pelican Pads warm up once they have been next to the skin, so they are all comfortable. All Pelican Pads were found to reduce a controlled force to under the breakage threshold under university testing.

What size Pants is best?

For people who fit into different size categories we recommend selecting the slightly looser fit. The Hip Protector Pads are big enough to offer good protection without having to be very tightly worn.
