The present disclosure provides improved protective headgear. The protective headgear includes a front shell attached to a back shell, where the front shell includes a crown portion, a forehead portion, opposite side face portions, and a jaw portion, and a shock absorbing member attached to the forehead portion and/or the jaw portion. The crown portion may include a padding insert disposed therein, where the padding includes a plurality of cutouts and is formed of a polymeric foam. The protective headgear may also include a faceguard that extends around the ear holes, which provides greater rigidity and allows for the headgear to absorb impact much more efficiently.

Protective headgear

The present invention is directed to a leg guard that provides increased protection while also providing maximum articulation and increased freedom of movement for the user. More particularly, the leg guard includes a toe guard, a shin guard, a knee guard including an extended knee cap wrap, an extended knee guard, a thigh guard, a left hinge, and a right hinge. Through the use of an extended knee cap wrap and a hinged configuration, the leg guard provides additional protection for the knees of a catcher and allows catchers to freely and quickly move to or through different stances without having to re-position the pads of the leg guard. The hinged configuration provides enhanced mobility for the user by preventing the leg guard from shifting and rotating about the shin of the user and allowing the leg guard to remain static without axial rotation or vertical movement.
