What to look for when buying Leg Guards

The great thing about today’s leg guards is that they have been built to be very light in weight almost to the point of being unnoticeable. Many fasten into place very easily to provide a great fit around the leg area. What separates the really good leg guards from the rest is their ability to protect all areas of the leg area. For instance, some leg guards offer triple knee protection ensuring that no area surrounding the knee is left uncovered. Some leg guards even have extra protection around the heel area making it very hard for the catcher to get hurt.

How to size Catchers Leg Guards

To measure the size of leg guards you will need, take a piece of measuring tape and measure from the middle of you knee to the top of your ankle. Match the resulting length (in inches) to the nearest model available from the purchasing location. For instance, some retail locations size by single unit increments (i.e 12, 13, 14) whereas others use half inch increments (13.5, 14, 14.5, etc).
