I use them. They work well for me. They're comfortable and I've taken several very hard shots this year and haven't felt a thing.

Do you think that it is necessary to use plate pants with these? Thanks in advance.

As I just said on another thread, these are the shins I use. They are relatively comfortable and provide excellent protection. They fit under combo pants. They do, however, rub the pants on the outside, where the hook goes into the D-ring. I think it is the 2nd one up from botom. Not sure why, but it is doing it on both legs. I noticed it and first thought I had gotten the poly material too hot when touching up with iron. But, on the inside, the material is fraying, from friction with the hooks. I may try reversing the legs to see if they fray on the inside, hopefully, not catching the hooks on eachother in an embarrassing mishap;0). Has anyone used the Davis-shins? They look very comfortable. Do they stay in place with only 2 straps. Adequate protection?

I used these shin guards for a few years, then upgraded to the Wilson West Vest triple knee. The diamonds were very adequate, but there was one time when I had a kid throwing about 70-75, put one on the inside part of the plate, and the knucklehead catcher completely missed it, and it hit me square in the kneecap. To this day, that is the most painfail shot I have ever taken. Thankfully, I was ok a few minutes later, and didn't even have a bruise. They are a decent shin guard, but my Wilson's are much more comfortable.
