what is the BEST product out there? - regardless of price. thanks.
For years I played around with finding a good set of shin guards that were comfortable and protective too.

Over the winter I had knee surgery and was looking for a little more protection and lo and behold it was right in front of my nose, in my Ice hockey referee equipment bag.

I put my Bauer Pro shin guards on in the spring. I did my last game for the year the other night and was still using them. Not hot at all with or without Under/Armor, much more protective, (especially on the sides of the knee and legs), comfortable and more flexible than any baseball gear I have used to date. Also, they do not stick out anymore than baseball shinguards, with plate pants.

I would highly recommend these for baseball.

Oh, probably around $50.00
