Comfortable leg guards

Try tightening your Davis guards' straps. That solved the problem for me. Plus, don't forget to criss-cross them when you buckle them up.

Mine are the ivex and they only have 2 straps. I have tightened them as far as they will go due to the way the straps are attached with velcro, then I taped them tighter. They still turn. I have to straighten them at least once per half inning.

Look at the pro nine guards they are fairly inexpensive,loight and are very comfortable.

The Davis guards don't have Velcro straps, so this isn't a major issue.

I tried the Davis guards on yesterday. How do you keep the "wings" tight to your ankles? They just seemed to flap outwards.

They are nicely built, but just didn't fit me.

Good question. Mine just stay right under my pants, as I don't have them low enough to where they show that much.

Hey all,

I use the Honig's K-30 shins and have no problem with them slipping or twisting. They are pretty light as well.
