Well, y'all know that I don't do fast pitch, but any redblooded man will tell you that any shot to the unprotected boys will HURT. And while I've not taken any throws to the Johnson, I've taken quite a few dings behind the plate that went straight to the nards. The Shock Doctor cup has protected the twig and giggleberries every time.

You guys are getting heat indexes of 120 degrees and up?

I wear full length compression tights, even in hot weather and they work well for me. They wick sweat away from the legs and prevent irritation from the shinguards, I do not feel too hot wearing them at all. Of course we'll see if that is the case when I start working ball in the Houston heat and humidity.

Since a couple a weeks I wear them too! However to prevent them getting worn out by my legguards, I wear long socks over the tights. I find out that's hot; the sweat can't go away! So, are the compression tights strong enough to handle the legguards direct over them?
I've got the McDavids, sold by Honigs'...

The McDavid's seem to be sold out everywhere. Can anyone point me to a good alternative?

I wear knee high compression socks. They are $20 but one cool thing they do is whisk the sweat from your feet. I can be sweated up everywhere but my feet are still dry. I also like how the shin guards fit over them.
