Wilson MLB West Vest Pro Gold 2 Umpire Shin Guards with Memory Foam

Great shin guards! They are very comfortable and pair really well with my West Vest!

What can I say? These shin guards do not disappoint. These are the same model I had purchased some 20 years ago that needed replacement. The lower profile and removable metatarsal plate are great upgrades to an otherwise superior shin guard.

Perfect fit after watching the sizing video prior to ordering online (which is nice). Affords added protection I was looking for when I upgraded from All-Star. Ended up taking too many painful knee shots and a foul ball off the shin that left a mark. So I converted back to the Wilson. A1 all around. Ump Attire, your only stop shop for umpire gear and equipment. Price is right as well!

Shin guards are great. Cushioning is excellent.

Most comfortable shin guards I’ve worn. They stay in place, light weight and easy to move with. Love the maneuverability of some of the shield’s. Hardly feel when the ball hits my leg. Especially with fast pitch softball. Worth the money!

Very comfortable with lots of padding. You barely feel the ball hitting you with them on honestly. Only word of caution I have is they are a bit longer than the platinums I just upgraded from so keep that in mind with ordering. Great product!

Comfortable! Padding on the inside is great, yet breathable. Easy to put on.

Very comfortable and light weight. Would highly recommend!!

Extremely comfortable, easy to put on and the ability to make minor changes to the instep and ankle plates, along with the center memory foam, makes these great. I’ve already taken a couple on each leg and felt nothing!

Well worth the price I paid. They are very comfortable and protective. Have yet to feel a thing when hit by a ball.

These shin guards breathe better than anything I have ever used. They're real easy to put on and are extremely comfortable. I'd say they fit very well with my plate shoes.

I would give these umpire shin guards 10 stars if I could. I’ve taken 3 shots in these and haven’t felt a single thing they are extremely comfortable. It does take some adjusting to get used to them but once you do you’ll never own anything else. I can’t brag on these enough; they are worth every penny!

Very easy to strap on and has strong protection.

I purchased these umpire shin guards because I needed an upgrade. I wanted shin guards with hook loop fasteners because the ones with plastic snap-together fasteners break easily if a foul ball hits them. Tired of trying to refurb the fasteners. These fit great. I'm kind of tall so I got the longest ones. I haven't used them yet but they feel good and fit great. I feel good about the long-term survival rate of these. I won't need to replace them anytime soon. Rated them 4 stars only because I haven't yet used them behind the plate yet. To quote a friend, "life's a pitch" one at a time. Thanks.

The memory foam is the way to go. Comfortable fit and protection is on point. Very happy with this purchase.

Very comfortable and light shin guards. I've taken multiple shots on both sides and haven't felt a thing. Can really tell the difference with the memory foam pads. Highly recommended.

I purchased the Wilson West Vest MLB Pro Gold 2 shin guards about three weeks ago. I’ve worn them about 10 times already. I love them. They are comfortable and easy to clean. But most of all, doing higher level baseball, when struck in the shin, you just don’t feel anything!

Extremely lightweight, comfortable, without sacrificing protection. I've already used them in 15 games since I bought them a week ago. They’ve been hit by foul tips and occasional wild pitch, no worries!!!! Definitely with the investment!

Very comfortable for multiple games.

These shin guards are much more comfortable than my previous pair. I've taken a couple of hits in them and didn't feel much of anything.

Good fit. Not too heavy.

Much more comfortable than other pairs I’ve used. Worth the extra money for these. Would highly recommend them.

These are the most comfortable low-profile shin guards I’ve ever owned!!! As umpires, we have all been in the situation of having a game and at the very last moment, the ceiling falls out if it rains. We then have to decide if we change in the rain or what?? These shin guards are so comfortable and low-profile that it’s even easy to drive in them!!! No more trying to find a dry place to change, just drive home!!

Bought these shin guards 2 weeks ago, and the padding is very comfortable!!! The padding is detachable and can be machine washed, which is a plus!!! Overall these shin guards are comfortable even after 3 to 6 games behind the plate.

These Wilson Shin Guards are amazing! Very comfortable and has great protection. I would highly recommend it.

These are by far the best pair of leg guards I have ever worn. The inner lining is extremely comfortable. They don't shift around at all when you are rotating up to third in 3-man. They are lightweight. They provide excellent protection as I have taken many direct hits off 90-plus mph foul tips. You cannot go wrong by purchasing these.

Love these! Good protection and a comfortable fit.

I loved the old Wilson Platinums but switched to Force3 several years ago. They were much lighter but I was never happy with the minimal ankle protection. Used my new Wilsons last week. Very pleased with the knee and ankle coverage. Added the UMPLIFE harness straps yesterday. I have a high-level High School game tomorrow. I'm sure these will be my go-to shin guards for many years to come.

I wore these for the first time today and although I didn’t get hit and can’t comment on the level of protection, I am giving these 5 stars. By far the most comfortable shin guards I have ever worn! Can’t wait to upgrade to the new memory foam chest protector!

Worked my first game in these last night and they are amazing. The comfortability of wear and the level of protection they provide is second to none.

The best shin guards, hands down! Very comfortable and provide ultimate protection. I highly recommend these!

Comfortable… the extra toe protection is easily removed when you are wearing plate shoes, or keep it on if you aren’t. Extra protection on sides is nice for those odd passed balls and foul tips. Protection level is sufficient for any level of baseball you want to work.

Easily a 5 star. Great protection and comfortable. Protects above knee caps also. Maybe a little much up to 50/70, then I’d choose something a little lighter. Took a heater straight the shin and put a hole in the pants but didn’t feel a thing. For fitting purposes I’m 5’9 and the 15.5 fit like a glove.

Wilson West Vest Pro Gold 2 Umpire Shin Guards are exactly what I expected them to be. Comfortable fit with the memory foam strip. Excellent protective coverage (although I have not taken a direct hit yet, I’m sure they’ll perform as advertised). Enjoying the peace-of-mind the ankle guards and additional upper knee pads provide (my previous shin guards did not have these features). Would recommend them to any umpire working higher youth, collegiate or pro games.

These are a little more bulky than the Force3 umpire shin guards I previously purchased. I do feel I have better protection on kneecap vs. Force3. These are lighter than the previous West Vest Gold shin guards I purchased years ago. Definitely would recommend for higher level games where velocity gets up there.

Perfect fit and I’m sure the protection is second to none.

I had the Wilson platinum shin guards prior to these. I like these just as much as those. I like that they added the option to take the toe guard off. I don’t feel a thing when I take a ball off of these.

I originally had the Force3 but had to change to these due to sizing. You can't be wrong with Force3, but these Wilsons are top-notch. Very comfortable; I took a few to the shin and did not feel anything. Great product by Wilson!

I recently purchased these as an upgrade for the Diamond Featherweights. The protection is top notch all the while not feeling bulky or heavy. I did 9 ball games this past weekend with 3 behind the plate and did not feel a thing. I highly recommend to umpires of all levels.

These are very similar to the platinum shin guards, which were already my favorite pair of shin guards. I like the memory foam channel and the color on these! I do wish they had all memory foam padding for a lower profile similar to the new chest protector.
