I purchased a couple pair of full length Mac-David Interawear tights, with the new Hex Cell padding.
Tuesday I took an untouched pitch on the inside of my right thigh. Instead of having my leg knocked out from under me (mostly from pain), all I felt was a good sting. The next day, I had a small bruise, but nothing compared to what I used to get. And for once, I didn't feel like picking up the ball and spiking it into the catcher's back.
If you decide to try them, they run 1+ size larger than the non-padded tights. I bought them one full size smaller than my non-padded version, and they are still a little big.
Now I just need some armor on my forearms, and I'm all set. Maybe we could start wearing those robot looking deep sea diving suits. They have heaters & Air Conditioning.
