Abstract
Abstract Flexible hip protectors (1) of an approximately domed shape are located and fixed in positions confronting the neck of either femur in so-called usual pants (21) so as to cover corresponding portions of the necks of the femurs. Therefore, if a person wears the pants (21), the hip protectors (1) are always located at exact positions so as to protect the necks of the femurs. Accordingly, the pants (2) with the protectors (1) are effective for wearing the protectors (1).
