Description
The Cobalt™ Skull Cap, or "Skully," is the first hard shell skull cap made exclusively for umpires, designed in collaboration with MLB and MiLB. Featuring a new, smooth matte finish that delivers a sleek, professional look and reduced glare, the Cobalt™ offers both style and performance behind the plate.
Engineered to defend against bat backswings and add an extra layer of force reduction, it’s built like a coach’s helmet but enhanced with specialized padding, refined contours, and umpire-specific design features for baseball and softball.
The shortened bill mimics an umpire plate/combo (4-stitch) cap and fits comfortably under any brand or style of mask, not just All-Star models.

- Regular matte finish to grip traditional harness (no harness upgrade needed)
- Augmented padding in key zones along sides, rear, and top for added protection against bats
