ABSTRACT:
A leg guard for a baseball catcher has a thigh portion of a rigid shell with a pad affixed thereto that is connected by a pair of straps to a knee portion of a rigid shell with a pad affixed thereto. The same pair of straps connect to a shin portion, which also has a rigid shell and a pad affixed thereto. The pad of the shin portion has an extension at an upper end that is attached thereto by a narrow neck and that extends to behind the knee portion. The extension of the shin pad is cup shaped to cup the knee of the wearer and thereby provide a second layer of padding at the knee. The knee portion floats relatively to the thigh and shin portions during bending of the leg, while still keeping all parts of the knee area covered by a rigid shell.
