Hip Protectors have been designed especially for older people to help reduce the likelyhood of a hip fracture resulting from a fall.

Hip Protectors are the solution. They have been designed to be comfortable everyday wear. They feature soft padded pockets over the hip area which contain thin 'high tech' thermoplastic shields. These shields protect the hip bones by absorbing and deflecting the impact energy generated during a fall.

Hip Protectors were researched, developed and manufactured in New Zealand. They consist of 'high tech' reinforced thermoplastic composites, enabling thin but very strong and effective hip protective shields. These are moulded to fit the curved surface of the body. This makes them comfortable to wear and thin so they cannot be seen under clothing.

As older people come in a variety of shapes and sizes with differing needs, Impactwear makes two styles for women with seven sizes in each, and a brief designed specifically for men in six sizes.
