Reviews

"I have worn these guards two seasons, Spring/Summer and Winter. They are light weight and seem to handle ball impacts up to senior league very well. Very comfortable even through three straight games in the heat. They didn’t wear any holes in my pants and I can put them on without taking off my pants. They are easy to run in if umpiring alone and you need to get down the line."

"The Diamond shin guards have worked out great. Excellent all-around protection and they are very mobile. With the floating knee-cap I never worry about a ball getting the bottom side of my bent knee and I can count on landing on it if I drop to my knees. Great set, light weight - I recommend!"

"Very good product. Light weight yet sturdy. Would recommend to anyone."

"Excellent shin guards. No irritation, light weight and moves easily. These guards have a large enough knee area and a floating knee so you don’t need to be concerned about them staying exactly put. The backing dries quickly and the exterior nylon cleans off nicely. I recommend!"
