I’ve attached a few photos of me wearing the Phoenix Hipwear under hiking shorts while hiking and kayaking in Kauai this week.
I was surprised at how comfortable the hip guards are - I wasn’t even aware of them when kayaking. We kayaked for a couple of miles down a river and then hiked a mile or so inland on some pretty uneven terrain to see a waterfall, and then the same in reverse!
We also did part of a trail on the Na Pali coast that was also uneven and slippery in places, so I was glad to have the hip protection and walking poles.
It felt reassuring to know that the hip guards were there in the event I fell. I’ll certainly be using them on trail hikes at home in Santa Barbara, California, as they can be worn under hiking pants for sure.

Amazing I wear them with bike ride

I have mountain biked with the active shorts with the hip shields 2 times. I was concerned I would feel the shields while riding, however they seem to mold some with the hip area and I do not notice them. I had a minor fall and landed on my palm and hip. My palm was sore, did have gloves on, felt nothing in the hip area upon impact of afterwards. On a side note, the shorts by themselves are very comfortable. I had tried bulkier hip protection in the past and did not feel confident the shields would stay in place, if/when needed. These shields seem to stay in place very well. I am very pleased so far. Also, the company has great customer service.

I had questions before ordering and Phoenix Hipwear responded quickly and in great detail. I chose the boxer underwear because I like a looser fit. The fit is great. Loose enough to be comfortable and tight enough to hold the protection in place. The hip guard is quite flexible and comfortable and I will be able to wear my own workout pants on top comfortably. The underwear is very high quality. I am so happy and I plan to recommend this to my friends with osteoporosis. Best way to stay active is to stay safe.

Amazing shorts with hip pads comfortable stays in place give me protection when riding my bike

The Active Shorts Comfortable and provide Confidence.

Fits great and I feel more confident riding my bike with the secure hip protection.

Customer service with Phoenix Hipwear is wonderful. I love that the underwear is so comfortable and is cotton. It feels easy to wear and the pockets place the shields correctly over the hips. The shields are quite thin and mold to my body easily so are not noticeable under clothing. Also I love that this company is woman-owned. And I appreciate the protection that this product provides.

So comfortable that I wear them all the time. I have both osteoporosis and vision issues but remain very active. These hip shields give me the reassurance I need while remaining discreet. Worth every penny. Thank you for developing this product.

If you have any problem with the shorts they get back to you right away to make sure you have a perfect fit. This company was great!! You don't want to have a fall without the protection. I recently had a fall .... did not have any broken bones...but boy of boy am I ever sore. I wish I had ordered this product before my fall.

The set is comfortable. The shields are quite thin so that they are almost unnoticeable. I truly appreciate the protection they give. This is a wonderful product.

I am writing as a wise elder, exercise physiologist and former marathoner, speed skater and cyclist. These shorts are a first, we have never had anything close to Natashas active shorts with hip pads to prevent hip fractures from a fall. They are totally discreet and look like our cycling shorts but better. In fact I am recommending the cyclists snd mountain bikers wear these over or under their leggings until Natasha creates some with a chamois for cyclists. Kudos to her for keeping us active.

The active shorts with shields hipwear have proven to be as lightweight and comfortable as I had hoped. I wear them under my regular tights and jeans for hiking and other activities. In warm weather, they can be worn alone. The shields are barely detectable as my t-shirts fit right over them.
With a bit of wear, the shields soften and conform to your body. I sometimes forget I have them on.
These are well worth the investment if you are concerned about a fall, as I was. I know from experience that a fall can happen even to a fit person like myself, within a second!

The shorts are very comfortable and the shields don’t make them bulky. I’ve worn them walking, jogging and working out. The shorts fit well and are fine on their own but can also be worn under other clothing. I have osteoporosis so it’s great to have this added protection.

I am writing to share my very positive feeling about the Phoenix Hip Protectors. For anyone concerned about falling and potentially fracturing a hip, these protectors certainly provide additional peace of mind. As a long term user of them I highly recommend them for anyone wishing an added layer of protection…
