Last weekend we noticed that my both my son's shin guards have cracked at the brad under the Easton name. The cracks are about 4 inches long. They are only 6 months old, so atleast they are still under warranty.

I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if it's common. We have always purchased Rawlings and never had a problem.

I have seen at least 3 or 4 sets do the same thing in my area here in New England in the past year.

Get them back to Easton for replacement.

Catching Coach,

We already have another pair on the way. Once we receive the new pair, we are sending the damaged pair back. Wanted to make sure that he atleast had something for this weekend.

With you being a catching coach, I am sure you have seen lots of shin guards. Have you seen any other brands do this, or has it only been the Eastons?

As much as I like the Easton gear and the way it fits, I have not heard of other guards cracking like this when they are so new.

The new gear is due into the place I run my indoor sessions in a week of two. I am curious to see if it appears there are any changes that are visible.
