Thigh Protection

[aiber]

I have taken a couple on the thighs and am considering using something.  Anyone use anything for thigh protection?

I use Mc David hex pad compression shorts.

Took a good wack to my inner thigh yesterday and not even a bruise...

I have been using the McDavid Hex compression tights since 2006. I still have the same pair and its still going strong. I bought them from Lesters Upstate Sports in NY. I currently don't see it on their website. Ump-Attire has these which are new from Force3 https://www.ump-attire.com/Baseball-Umpire-Equipment/Clothing-Apparel/Under-Apparel/F3-TIGHTS_Force3-Umpire-Tights-with-Kevlar-Pads

I have the Force3 ones and love them. Doesn't affect the mobility and doesn't show up under the plate pants.

Uncomfortable and hot in Florida.

I thought McDavid stopped making those hex-pad shorts for baseball. I was looking to pick up a pair last season and couldn't find any anywhere. They aren't listed on the company website anymore either. Does anyone know the status for sure?

You thought right. Today's option is the Force3 tights.

Have you tried your local sporting goods store? That's where I got mine. Might be some NOS available.

Yeah, I did check locally. No joy. I guess I may have to look into the Force3 tights as gnhbua93 suggested.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with the hexpads.

What hex pads??? lol

I hate to breath life in an old thread....but has ANYONE found anything like the McDavid's still available? I don't want to wear full length tights...that's another full layer that I'm looking to avoid....but the last inner thigh shot I took was 2 weeks ago and it's still tender lol.

ump-attire offers this Force3 idea, although it is a full length tight: https://www.ump-attire.com/Baseball-Umpire-Equipment/Clothing-Apparel/Under-Apparel/F3-TIGHTS_Force3-Umpire-Tights-with-Kevlar-Thigh-Protection  Cut off the excess and hem?

[ofhs93]

Don't think there are any other options out there right now....anyone used those with a Nutty-Buddy?
