All-Star FM4000MAG Umpire Mask Replacement Pads - Deerskin

I really like the look of these pads with the black frame. They are a bit heavier than the original pads, but only add a few ounces to the weight of the mask. The protection offered with the All-Star umpire mask and pad is excellent. The deer skin is very comfortable and looks great.

I love the shoe. Only drawback is they are very hard to get on without a shoe horn.

I’m 6’1 and this fits me better than my old Champro, and better than any Wilson I tried. Also very light weight and not too hot in the Texas heat. Well worth the money - highly recommend.
