Knee Caps and Shin Coverage

The LG85 is an adult pro single-knee umpire leg guard with double-panel kneecaps for plate protection. At 16.5" it covers the shin and knee while staying light enough to wear under the pants. It is the single-knee counterpart to the winged double-knee {a("LG86","LG86")}.

Fitting the LG85

Strap the guards so the kneecaps sit centered and the shins are covered, and adjust for a snug fit under the pant leg. Pair them with an umpire mask and chest protector from the umpire gear range to complete a kit.

Where It Fits by Player and Role

Equipping an Umpire Crew

For a league or association, the LG85 protects the legs and matches the rest of an umpire kit. Build a full set from the umpire gear range, and see the baseball and softball collection for the field.

Buyer and Fit Workflow

Size the guards to the umpire, set the straps, and confirm the kneecaps and shins are covered under the pants. Match them to a mask such as the BM300BK and a chest protector such as the P230.

Who Buys These Guards and Why

Leagues, associations, and umpires buy the LG85 for leg protection that fits under the pant leg and stays comfortable through a game. The straps adjust for a secure fit.

An umpire outfitting a kit is the clearest case, since the LG85 pairs with a matching mask and chest protector.
