Markwort Leg Guards

These guards are 16 inches long, which typically fits older youth players or adults. We recommend measuring from the center of the kneecap to the bottom of the shin to ensure the correct fit before purchasing.

The double knee cap design provides extra coverage and protection for the knee area, which is crucial for catchers who spend a significant amount of time in a crouched position. It allows for better mobility while ensuring the joint remains shielded from foul tips and blocked balls.

Yes, the integrated ankle wings are designed to extend coverage down to the ankle bone, which is a vulnerable spot for catchers. This added material helps deflect balls that might otherwise cause bruising or injury in that specific area.

The four-strap system is designed to keep the guards firmly in place throughout the game. Because each strap is adjustable, you can customize the tension to prevent the guards from shifting or sliding while you move behind the plate.

While these are categorized for baseball, the design is functionally identical to many softball leg guards. As long as the 16-inch length fits the player, they can be used effectively for both sports.
