Full catcher's sets and individual pieces - chest protectors, shin guards, helmets & masks for all ages and leagues.
Look for removable sternum guards and adjustable shoulder caps. Youth sizes (12"-14"), Intermediate (14"-16"), Senior (16"-17.5"). All-Star and Rawlings lead quality.
Knee wings and instep protection are must-haves. Measure from knee to ankle. Youth: 12"-14". High school: 16"-18". Look for hinged knee and layered foam.
Traditional masks offer ventilation; hockey-style helmets offer full protection. Most youth leagues require a dangling throat guard. NOCSAE certification required.
32.5"-34" for youth; 33"-34" for high school and above. Closed back for control. Break-in before game use. Wilson A2000 and Rawlings HOH are the gold standard.
