New Pieces, New Technology Added to Rawlings' Catcher's Gear

Rawlings has added new pieces and new technology to its line of catcher's gear.

Emulate Geovany Soto with Rawlings' new chest protector and leg guards.

• The GEO Chest Protector (model number GEOCP) incorporates PORON® XRD™ to provide the best ball control. Power Balance® technology is embedded into the back harness. Rawlings' Dynamic Fit System creates a custom fit, with removable shoulder caps and an adjustable back harness.
• The GEO Leg Guards (model number GEOLG) incorporate PORON® XRD™ in the knees for impact absorption. These leg guards feature reinforced shin pad inserts and Pro-Dri covered adjustable internal padding for moisture management and comfort.

In addition, Rawlings has redesigned the chest protector, leg guards and helmet in its XRD series with a pro look and feel. Also new to the line is the Blackout Edition, a completely black set of gear.

• The chest protector (model number XCPM) features a new rubberized matte finish with PORON® XRD™. Power Balance® technology is embedded in the gear, with the Dynamic Fit System™ over the shoulder providing optimal fit.
• The leg guards (model number XLGM) are available with the new rubberized matte finish and feature AIMS™: Advanced Impact Management System™ and PORON® XRD™ technology in the knee. Reinforced shin pad inserts and the patented Supertoe™ add protection. Pro Dri® covered adjustable internal padding is included for moisture management and comfort.
• The hockey style catcher’s helmet (model number MCH1) features the rubberized matte finish, along with a lightweight, high-strength cage. A new chin pad design creates optimal fit and comfort.

Available this fall, Rawlings' new Sign Brite™ technology provides light for the pitcher to see the catcher's signs. Sign Brite™ is a powerful LED light embedded in the upper pad of the catcher's left leg guard that turns on automatically when the catcher moves into the sign-giving position. It is available for adults under model number XLGSB and intermediate players under model number XLGSBI.
