Wilson West Vest Pro Umpire Shin Guard Description

The Pro Model umpire shin guards provide more protection above the knee from its triple-knee design than other shin guards and more size options than other Wilson models.

• Unique triple knee design provides maximum above-the-knee protection.
• Contoured inner padding is nylon shell with foam for superb comfort to both knee and leg - same padding design as Wilson Platinum and Gold chest protectors
• Floating lower knee for better flex upon bending
• Expanded ankle plates provide maximum ankle more protection.
• Velcro connects padding to outer shell allowing for easy removal and cleaning

• Stitched plastic for added durability
• Instep plate can be worn when not wearing plate shoes (Note: When wearing plate shoes, umpires typically remove. Unfortunately, the plates here are only removable by cutting them off.)
• MLB logo on ankle plate
• Black color with gold "W" logo matches Wilson gold chest protector
• Adjustable sizing: (16"-17" or 18"-19") for custom fit of most knee to foot lengths. Sizes are not the full length of the shin guard but the distance between where the middle of your knee would go to where your leg meets your foot.
• Wilson is the Official Umpire Gear of Major League Baseball® and Minor League Baseball®.
• Weight: 16/17- 5.2 lbs., 18/19- 5.6 lbs.

Reviews

"I’ve been using these shin guards for over a year and absolutely love them. I appreciate the velcro adjustable leg pads and the upper knee area. These leg guards fit like a glove and I’m 6’6””. I don’t feel even the hardest shots with these pads on. The plastic foot protector is useless for anyone who has plate shoes but is easily removable with a razor knife or drilling out the rivets that hold them in place. I also love the fact that the inner “cushion” pads are removable which makes them easy for a thorough cleaning when regular disinfecting sprays no longer work. I can think of nothing that I would like to see improved on in these shin guards."

"Received my Gold chest protector and West top line shin guards last Friday. Worked 13 innings behind the dish today and I am absolutely blown away by this gear. I had been using Honigs top shin guards and West platinum but decided to treat myself when it was time for replacement. Wish I'd made the change years ago. I've never felt more secure and had gear that fit so well. This stuff just doesn't move around once it's on. Glad I spent the extra bucks."
