Baseball Catcher's Leg Guards

Baseball Catcher's Leg Guards are made for protection. They're made from high density foam padding to provide maximum protection from leg injuries, and they feature an adjustable strap with a shin pad cover that fits securely on your shin and keeps the straps in place. The soft and lightweight design provides comfort while wearing, while still being able to provide catcher’s a high level of protection.

Baseball leg guards must fit securely in order to protect against injuries. When you’re measuring for leg pads, no matter what size you wear, it is important to make sure they are not too small. Measure your leg from the middle of your knee cap (patella) to the base of your ankle bone (tibia). Leg guards come in sizes ranging from 12 inches to 16 inches, though some manufacturers offer custom options outside the standard range.

When it comes to sizing, leg guards are just as easy to shop for as chest protectors. To find the right size, measure from the middle of the knee to the ankle in inches. If your measurement is 15 inches, then you'll likely be a size 15.

In general there are no major functional differences between baseball leg guards and softball leg guards however there are some slight differences. Many softball leg guards are lighter and often have slightly smaller, more narrow toe guards. Additionally, some softball leg guards may have only a double knee cup as opposed to a triple knee cup you would typically find inside most baseball leg guards.
