Champion Body Armor Umpire Chest Protector

I love the fit and the breathability, and the fact that you can wash it.

Great umpire chest protector! It's light weight, fits well and provides ample protection!

I ordered this as a spare and have moved up as my main chest protector for the younger leagues. It’s very light and low profile. I need a chest protector that is 18” and this is as close as it gets. It definitely does not have the padding that some of the others have, but it is plenty for most of the leagues I do. It could be a bit wider in order to protect my side more.

Light and protective. Love how low profile this is.

Very pleased with this chest protector. Doesn't trap heat/moisture, allows for good movement, lightweight, relatively low profile. Taken numerous fouls, it has protected exactly as expected. I haven't had it tested against 90+ mph stuff, but just fine into the 80's.

Best umpire chest protector out there for the value.

I bought this umpire chest protector looking for something that was lighter and had a hard shell. I like this protector as it sits higher to protect your shoulders and is lighter in weight. It also seems to help with heat and since I live in Texas this will come in handy. I think this is a good value for the price.

BEST VALUE AVAILABLE IN THE CHEST PROTECTOR MARKETPLACE!!!

Upgraded from a Champro softshell chest protector that just felt way to bulky. This is really a great fit, slim chest protector. Used it once so far in the Texas heat and it felt cooler also. I'm really happy with this and can't believe the price. Would highly recommend it.

Hands down, this is the all-around BEST umpire chest protector currently on the market. It's $55 (!!!), plenty of coverage, fits super well, breathes great for a hard shell, and the side padding actually isn't obstructive. I've had mine for 4 years, and it's still going strong! I haven't even had to replace the harness, believe it or not. If you're looking for a hardshell, you're cheating yourself if you're not seriously considering this as an option.

Great chest protector! I was a little leary at first whether it would be enough protection! Been hit multiple times and it definitely does the job! Love it! Plus my plate coat fits perfectly now!

Was looking for a low profile chest protector with plenty of shoulder/collar bone protection. A friend who umpires in North Carolina summer heat recommended the Champion. It is working out great. Love the look, flexibility, breath-ability and protection. Seems like a steal at the price. Having only used it twice the side flaps are a bit annoying but not sure if it is me or the chest protector. Might have to make a minor adjustment there.

Great chest protector. Have worn it for 10 games and it feels great. I've taken fouls off the chest and have barely felt a thing. 10-10 worth it.

I am 6'4" and the 17" is perfect for my height. I umpire baseball and softball and found this vest light weight and comfortable. I only taken one shot to the chest and the vest worked well. Grate vest for the price.

Light, comfortable and low profile. I trimmed the upper/outer edges of foam chest piece to fit and increase mobility. So far it's a great purchase.

I really like this chest protector. It's really light, low profile, and doesn't overheat on those hot summer days. Feels very strong and safe, especially considering the price. Only thing is that I found the outermost wing flaps got in the way when trying to move my arms. Can easily be cut off with scissors.

I love this umpire chest protector. Has a very low profile, doesn't move once adjusted. I took a couple of direct hits and nothing. This protector is hardly noticeable during the game. Thanks Ump-Attire.com!

I like the Champion Body Armor Chest Protector for several reasons. First, is that it covers your collar bone and shoulders from getting a direct hit. Second, that it comes in different lengths so I can get it long enough to cover the lower part of my stomach. Third, that the cover is made of rigid plastic to take the initial blow from any baseballs. Finally, the pads can be removed and washed and then replaced so you don't have to try to get them clean while still attached.

Maximum protection for low profile umpire chest protector.

Recently purchased and really like it. It is light but so far provides great protection with a lower profile then my other umpire chest protector. When I first put it on I was not a big fan of the harness so I altered it a little by purchasing the Force3 replacement harness with metal clips, and that gave it a more secure fit.

Bought this for a cooler, lighter option at an affordable price. It was all 3. Very comfortable to wear, much cooler than other protectors. It protects extremely well. Already took a few hits to chest and shoulders and barely felt anything. Takes a few games to break it in and adjust it but after that it's great.

Comfortable! Feel very protected back there. Took a fastball directly to the chest the other night and didn't feel a thing!

Well built, slim profile. Switched from the West vest which was to bulky for me. Great product and value.

The best chest protector for the cost. I have used it from little league to varsity and have taken some shots in it. I feel well protected in it.

For the price this is the best hardshell chest protector on the market. Been using it for 9 years on the high school varsity-junior college level. Zero issues.

Solid construction, but moderate durability and limited hard shell protection. Looks sharp and is great at this price point.

This umpire chest protector is light and fits very well. I had a West Vest Platinum so I'm still getting used to this smaller cp. Very comfortable but it doesn't have the protection around the shoulders that the WVP has. I took a few shots off this cp and it did its job.

Good umpire chest protector, Shoulder cracked where biceps add-on goes and is running up the shoulder pad. used less than 6 months and it needs to be replaced, very dissapointed.

This umpire chest protector is very light and has great ventilation. I bought this based on the reviews it had. My previous one I've had for the past 10 years, and it is still good but it was time for a new one. I would recommend this to any umpire High School and Below. It feels like you have nothing on. Took a couple of shots and felt nothing.

Once adjusted, this rig is very comfortable. It molds to the body after a few hours and feels great. It also can take hard fouls from HS pitchers throwing 80+. Great rig!

This chest piece is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a contoured and minimalist appearance while still having protection where I need it. Pads nowhere near as thick as other heavy chest protectors, but still feel very solid. Only issue as with most chest protectors I try on, it's tough to get the chest protector snug and fitting high without ripping my ears off when I remove the chest protector after a game. This one isn't near as bad as others I've worn. The Wilson gold was really bad at this. Definitely a umpire chest protector for the mobile, athletic umpire that doesn't want to look like a linebacker.

I have done high school and college baseball using this very umpire chest protector, I have not had any issues. This summer I took a 90mph fastball to the chest and felt nothing, can't beat that.

By far, the best chest protector for the money. I've bought all three sizes for the umpire closet at our LL field. These are just a small step down in protection from the WV/Douglas/System 7 standards. Never have we had such an option for the beginners. Value, protection, low profile and three sizes. Pair this with a Delta Flex harness, you have a very solid rig.

This is a great product! It protects well and the price is too good to pass up on, when the quality is beating out some of the high priced chest protectors today.

Love this cup. Taken many h.s. hits with it and didn't feel a thing. The best piece of equipment I have bought yet. Only down side is it doesn't breath well.

This is a great CP for the price. I wear this as a backup to my West Vest Gold, and love it. The only downside... The padding is permanently riveted in place (not machine washable).

By far the best CP at this price point on the market. It compares favorably with my WV Platinum.
