Most Comprehensive Umpire Shin Guards Buying Guide Ever Could Also Be Driest

I have updated our umpire shin guards buying guide for the second time this year, this time with so much additional information that this has to be the most comprehensive buying guide ever written on umpire shin guards (at least on brands we retail). Does Guinness keep a record on this subject?

You'll find the following new points of emphasis:

• Learn why, of all parts of the leg anatomy, the thigh is the one that needs the least protection.
• Read about the purpose of the floating "knee", the one that rests below the one where your knee rests.
• Focus on the benefits of the different knee styles (e.g. 1, 2 and 3) including that double-knees are generally more comfortable and less cumbersome
  
• More emphasis on sizing and greater explanation that sizes are not determined by total shin guard length
• Find out that triple-knee shin guards are generally best for very tall umpires not because they are longer overall but because they are typically the only ones that come in a longer fit size.
• Get lectured about wearing plate shoes instead of the built-in foot protection provided by some umpire shin guards
• Prices added for additional comparison

The only problem with the now much longer resource is that it's now perhaps the driest buying guide on umpire shin guards ever written as well. Read the new buying guide here at your own risk.
