ProSlide Extra Padded Compression Leg Sleeve vs ShinDefender ONE

Pick the ShinDefender ONE for most athletes. It covers the shin and both ankle bones in one sleeve, uses honeycomb EVA foam, and has a much larger track record of owner feedback. The ProSlide Extra Padded adds thicker foam over the knee as well as the shin, which suits sliders and divers in baseball, softball and lacrosse who take hits above the shin. Owners of the ProSlide praise the padding and fit but report the top of the sleeve loosens and slides down, while ShinDefender owners say theirs stays locked in place.

• Choose the ProSlide Extra Padded if you slide or dive and want foam over the knee as well as the shin.
• Choose the ShinDefender ONE if you want shin and ankle coverage in one sleeve that stays put.
