The West Vest line of
shin guard is the finest protection of any shin guard on the market
and is the leader in innovations for one of the toughest areas to
protect in the umpires stance - "the knee." Because of our increased
padding behind the knee plates, Major League Umpires who get hit
with foul tips in the knee do not get "knocked down" because their
leg doesn't absorb the blow -the shin guard does. Because our shin
guard is larger than most you will not be able to wear just a
regular pair of pants over them ... your knee in your slacks will
have to be tailored or you will have to buy pants made for working
home plate ....See Gerry Davis Sports or Honig's or Lester's Upstate
Sports.
Also to accommodate the
different size umpires the shin guards come in two sizes that can
expand at least two more sizes. The normal size shin guard is the
16-17 - that stands for the inches from the center of your knee cap
to the top of your plate shoe.
The whole knee is
adjustable for sizing purposes. So when you get your shin guards,
don't think that something is wrong with them; they are
supposed to come apart so that you can make them fit "YOU."
The larger size is the 18"-19"
