Champro Pro-Plus Triple Knee Umpire Shin Guards

Michael H., Lake Elsinore, CA

9/20/2020

I have worn these for the last 3 years and I can't tell you how many games they have been through. I have done high school, travel ball, and Little League lower/upper division baseball. I find the triple knee provides excellent protection and I feel these could handle even higher levels of baseball. They stay in place and can be worn all day. A terrific piece of equipment and I would highly recommend purchasing some.

All-Star Cobalt Umpire Chest Protector

John M., Miami, FL

9/17/2020

This All-Star Cobalt chest protector is the one. I have used their products and my boys have for over 20 years and they keep getting better. The All-Star Series 7 chest protector was one of the best-designed ones, that they made when they first came out. I had one of the first ones because Jim Kirk and his staff at Ump-Attire.com care for their officials. This new Cobalt chest protector is even better. With insights from professional and amateur umpires and Jim Kirk and his staff, All-Star added comfort, protection, ventilation channels, and reduced weight, which are keys in the hot sun or long days umpiring. I love the design and how snugly it fits and yet allows great movement. Can't wait to get nailed by high-velocity pitches and up and coming pitchers.
