leg straps

Cyclist's pants protectors

Leg straps are bands that wrap around the thighs or calves to secure equipment to the body.

They appear on harnesses for climbing, parachuting, and aerial work, keeping the wearer safely attached.

Leg straps also secure holsters, medical devices, or prosthetics: Tighten the leg straps before jumping.

In bondage contexts, leg straps restrain movement.
