ABSTRACT:
A form-fitting garment having side pockets that allow hip pads for the protection of the greater trochanter, to be securely positioned and centered above the greater trochanter region is described. The hip pads have a slit extending through the planar surface that is centered over the greater trochanter region and disperses any impact forces against the pad away from the greater trochanter region.
