Selected User Reviews For Diamond Sports Umpire Leg Guards, Pair
In place of my 7 year old Honigs, I bought The heel of the Honigs was beautiful, but the binding on the edges left burn marks on my calves. In September and October of this year, I used these Diamonds as part of my fall ball games. As for the burn mark on my calf, it is completely healed and hasn't caused any irritation at all since I had As well as being pretty light, they are also quite sturdy. As there is an additional strap over my knee, I was a bit concerned that the top guard (upper knee/lower quad) would obtrude. Nevertheless, they have been in great shape so far. I can put it on even with my pants on, and the J-style cuff makes it easy Since the hooks stay connected, I don't have to check them all the time. The iX3 padding seems to maintain a good level of cooling and moisture. Yet, I will have to wait until next summer, in the middle of summer, to find out the full details on that. So far, I'm so pleased with them that I feel inclined to recommend them to my friends. A good level of It was nothing but pain after I took several bouncers off my shin. Instep pad with an elongated shape is also interesting to me. You've done a nice job there. This is great for those foul balls hit at crazy angles and sting your finger. Besides the foot guard, they also come with a removable clip. I have no earthly idea why this is. It is unfair for anyone who gets behind the plate without proper plate shoes (steel or carbonate toe, and channel guard), since the removable footguards, for the most part, won't protect you from being hit on the front of the toe from one that skips in. It's a tiny detail, but that's it. As soon as they came out of the box, I immediately took them off. The guards at the entrance are nice. Those doing any kind of work up to college level will find them useful. You will be pleased with them, I am sure. The following dates and times have been updated in Despite how much I hate to say it, the Diamonds were replaced It was so funny how fast the metal hooks, rings, and rivets rusted out that they looked almost like rusty. Never in my umpiring career has a piece of equipment failed me this fast. I have been using them for a long time. Despite being uncomfortable and protecting me well, they were comfortable for Even though it looked like the metal was about 100 years old, it had only been in service for about two years. It's possible that it's just my sweat that's so acidic that it caused the metal to rust so badly and It appears I may be an isolated case, but I would be surprised if that is the Is that the case, then why did my Honigs last us seven years and why did my other equipment not rust at all? After contacting Diamond I was informed that the product was no longer under warranty and they were not interested in helping me. It was their "help" that I will remember, you can be sure. It's my fault. I have to update the review to let you know that I would suggest you overlooking these iX3's and instead look for other shin guards.
I conducted a lot of research on umpire shin guards and found they consistently received high ratings. I checked Honig's, but it's still not there You can find umpire outfitters at Attire and other stores. In the next few minutes after I made my decision, I started looking at prices, and I was shocked at what Amazon offered. I was able to get a better deal on shipping than most others offered as a base price for the same quality item. The weight and fit are excellent and the quality is high considering I work at the high school and adult men's league level. It is recommended that you buy a bigger size. It was my first time buying a 15" display, but I enjoyed the Amazon return service so much that I upgraded to a I feel neither safer nor happier than I could ever imagine.

I know no good way to clean these items, as they absorb sweat. There is a metal J-shaped part on these It has hooks that hook on to The latch system is pretty standard, although my co-workers have snap connectors on their guards, which seem more appealing to me. most likely purchase a 17 inch model if I were to purchase the same thing again.
My favorite part about these leg protectors is that they are extremely comfortable. The sleeves provide adequate coverage, and during the 90 minutes to 2 hours that you are behind the plate, they are comfortable to wear. This underwear provides a barrier between my skin and my plate ump pants. It's not just a matter of sweating since they insulate well, but wearing any leg protector would do the trick. It's not too gross to wear them back to back. They dry pretty quickly, so putting them on back to back games isn't an issue.
