Champro Optimus MVP Leg Guards

Yes, these are specifically designed for catchers. The 'behind the plate' reference and double knee cap design confirm they are intended for baseball or softball catching duties, not soccer.

Measure from the center of your kneecap down to the bottom of your shin, just above your foot. The Champro Optimus MVP guards come in 13.5, 14.5, and 16.5-inch lengths to accommodate different leg lengths across youth and adult players.

The cantilever lining system creates a buffer between the hard outer shell and your leg. This design helps disperse the energy from foul tips or blocked balls, reducing the direct impact force felt by the catcher.

No, they are built with a high-performance polypropylene shell that balances durability with a lightweight profile. This allows for better agility and movement behind the plate without sacrificing protection.

The guards feature strategically placed air holes integrated into the shell. While they won't keep you completely dry, they significantly improve airflow compared to solid-shell guards, helping to keep your legs cooler during hot games.

The double knee cap provides extended coverage that moves with your leg. It offers better protection for the lower thigh and knee area when you are in a crouch or blocking balls in the dirt.
