These fit good and are comfortable. They also work well I’ve had a few hits in them and they are much better than my previous pair.

"You won't feel like you're wearing shin guards at all" is probably the most honest part of the description. These shin guard are very light weight and very easy to wear. They do sacrifice protection for them being this light weight. I have owned them for a full college and H.S. season & taken a half dozen shots. Hits to the direct front are felt but not too bad. The sides of the guards offer almost no protection and hits to the side are very painful.

Very lightweight and comfortable fit. I love all my Cobalt products - Mask (Mag), Helmet, Chest Protector and now Shin Guards.
Questions About This Product
Q: | I was all set to order a pair of the new All-Star Cobalt leg guards but two of the three initial reviews raise concern about their protective ability. I have small (thin/skinny) lower legs and your product review indicated these would be a good application for this body type. I also planned on using them for both baseball and softball high school level play. Your thoughts? Thank you for your time. – Warren Befort |
A: | The main reason we suggest this for small legs is that the plastic shell can be widened or curled inward for a tight wrap around feel. There are other more protective styles available. To compare where these rank, read our full Shin Guard Buying Guide. – Brandon LawsonSupport Specialist, Pro Umpire School Graduate and Umpire, Football Official & Basketball Referee |
