Softball Catcher's Leg Guards are designed for protection against fast flying softballs. Softball leg guards are built with high density foam padding to provide maximum protection from leg injuries.
Softball 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.
To find the right size for softball leg guards, you’ll want to measure from the middle of the knee to your ankle in inches - this will be your size. For example, if your measurement is 12 inches, then you'll likely be a size 12.
In general there are some very slight design differences between softball and baseball leg guards. Many softball leg guards are lighter and have slightly smaller, narrower toe guards than their baseball counterparts. Also, some softball leg guards have a double knee cup whereas many baseball leg guards have a triple knee cup
