An athletic pants hose adapted and of such configuration to protect as well as support knee joints. The pants hose includes a form-fitting article formed from a lightweight elastomeric fabric material and has one set of uniquely designed articles, formed from a lightweight non-elastomeric fabric material, attached to each of the stockings. The article on each leg stocking is adapted to have a knee grip, to overlie the knee joint and adjoining leg, which will allow easy installation and no binding on knee joint when wearer desires to flex knee joint while providing sufficient tension rigidity and support for certain purposes, further including (1) an attachment from the knee grip to the waist belt to provide transfering of load from knee area to the waist through tension load on article, and holding the upper band of the knee grip for proper functioning, and (2) an attachment from the lower band of the knee grip to the stocking end at the toe cap to provide proper functioning of the knee grip with the action of the foot. The degree and location of the support being adjustable through the use of tightening of the waist belt to different positions at the waist of the wearer plus several lengths or sizes of an athletic pants hose would be adapted for several standard body figurations.
