Unequal Uncap Protective FlexShell

Needs to be refined where either it fits in the cap dome or it fits on top of the head in side the cap. Also the front that sits behind mask pads should be thinner or reshaped. Most mask pads work great at absorbing energy, so like a 3/4 shell that covers top to crown could work. We work hard to get that perfect fit for our mask.

Made my hat stand up high on my head and had to order a hat 2 sizes bigger in order for it to fit comfortably. Sorry not going to recommend it.

Added protection for your cranium on the bases and that is ALWAYS recommended.

Great idea, but for me it made my cap sit to high on my head, maybe the style of cap but it's was sold here also. I like my cap down on my head so it's not coming off every time I touch my mask.

I was originally looking for a skull cap. I watched the video and I purchased it and it does the job very well. It fits just right and it still has ventilation for those hot summer days.

Just love it. Perfect protection without letting others know!

I took a direct shot from a foul ball wearing this in a AAA Division Little League game (9-11 year olds). It was paired with a Diamond Big League Umpire Traditional Mask. A solid hit, square in the center of the mask and I did not feel a thing. The mask stayed in its proper place because of this cool product. People have no clue I am wearing additional protection and fellow umpires like the fact they can wear their ball caps. This cap insert will help provide some protection from baseballs bouncing off the backstop and hitting your head. It will help with time when a ball hits the mask at the top edge and drives the cage into your head.

I own all of the umpire head protection you stock and this is by far the best concept. However, the padding doesn’t allow it to sit comfortably on my head. It works perfectly and looks great but I would prefer it to sit further down on my head. Feels like it wants to pop off.

This thing is FREAKIN' AWESOME! I wore a traditional skully for years and when I saw this in the off season I figured it was worth a try. So glad I did...it's comfortable, it breathes better than the old skully and I just feel protected. Haven't actually taken a shot yet, but I am confident it will get the job done.

Cap size 7 1/4 - ordered the S/M. Fits perfect in my cap but is too small. Does not fit fully around my head. From the Q & A section it stated the large will be too big. I tried a larger cap size and it will not flex that much to fit properly. So, if you are 7 1/4 you seem to be in the middle of two sizes. I had to return mine. It is well made and believe it will provide the protection required.

Fits under your cap and gives you that extra protection. I used the All-Star helmet for years. The Unequal Uncap and the Force 3 mask I feel secure and don’t have neck and shoulder fatigue. Great product!

I wore the product last weekend for 4 plate games. Easy to insert and remove from plate cap. Breathable. Partner didn't even know I was wearing it. Enjoyed the peace of mind the extra protection provided me. Inserting the product into your cap does increase the size of your head so you will need to slightly adjust your umpire face mask harness straps to accommodate the increase. The face mask will sit a little bit higher on your face as well. Overall, great product. Thank you for introducing this product. Highly recommended.

I am not a HSM guy, and I have always wished for added protection to my head in addition to my mask. I am also somewhat of a traditionalist, and I personally am not a fan of a visible hard cap/helmet. So, I thought I would give this a try. I have found a flex fit works better for me. As others have stated it does take some getting used to, but with a little work and adjusting my mask, it works over it just fine, and I have a little more peace of mind. I really like this option and it is almost impossible for anyone to even know you have it on/under your cap.

Still waiting to use this product because we have adopted the new COVID-19 two-man mechanic in New York. Calling balls and strikes from behind the mound for the plate man. But as far as I can tell, I might need to go one size up with my 4 stitch plate cap.

Took a little time to get used to using. I had to wear it around the house for awhile. But fits under the cap well and provides great head protection for umpires that wear the regular mask. Many of my partners didn't even realize that I had it on. I've actually worn it on the bases with the new "Social Distancing" umpiring mechanics where I'm calling balls and strikes from behind the pitcher.

Takes a bit to get used to as mask sitting differently on your head and if you run with a "tight" hairstyle, it can have some slippage issues. That being said as an umpire with prior concussion issues, it does make me feel safer on the diamond and once you get your mask fitted correctly, it is a good product that offers protection and peace of mind.

Make sure to get the correct size.

Great product and great fit.
