Chest Protector Sizing
When measuring for chest protector length, measure from your neck down to where you want the bottom of the chest protector to be positioned. Some say this is right at or above the belly button. It's really a personal preference that depends somewhat on your stance, level and experience.
See the Chest Protector Fit Guide (above right) as a reference.
If you need extra length, 2 chest protectors have an additional sizing plate or extension (see below).
Here are our chest protectors and their lengths.

Measuring for the Gold is Different
If you like the length of the Gold, you have 2 chest size choices (Measuring Chest Size)
With your arms relaxed at your sides, measure around the
fullest part of your chest, keeping the measuring tape
level and parallel to the floor around both the chest
and ribcage. |
Umpire Masks
When you see a mask specified in inches (e.g. the 10" Dyna-Lite mask), this is the mask from the top of the top padding to the top of the bottom padding.
Therefore, 10" masks will be taller than 7" masks.
General Tips
- When in doubt, order the larger size if there is a choice between two sizes. The most returns we experience from protective gear are from the smaller sizes.
- When in doubt, order the middle size if there are three sizes.
- If you need it quickly and don't care to pay a little extra on return shipping, order 2 sizes and send the one that does not fit back for a full refund.

| Measuring for Leg Guards
Measure your leg from center of the kneecap to bottom of shin.
Where does my knee go?
In general, the padding on the inside should provide a visual indicator.
Otherwise, it depends on which shin guard you wear. If a single-knee (1 top cap) or double-knee (2 top caps), you want your knee cap to rest in the topmost cap. If a triple-knee (3 top caps), your knee will go in either the middle cap or bottommost cap depending on the shin guard. |
