I finally found a neck gaiter that is comfortable and doesn't slip off of my nose.

All-Star Cobalt Umpire Shin Guards

All-Star Cobalt umpire shin guards feel and look amazing. Took a shot off the shin, heard the noise but didn't feel a thing. I wear a slim fit Plus-POS set of shin guards that were painful most of the time now they are buried in the shed. I usually wear a size 17 but went with the 19 instead, no a problem. When the 17 inch guards are back in stock I will purchase those also. These are slim and wrap around the calf for extra protection. Excellent product. Thanks Ump-Attire.com.

Diamond Silver Big League Aluminum Umpire Mask with Leather

Recently picked this umpire mask up to replace one that came in a starter kit. Man oh man...what a mask! I tried several other masks, but this one fit me the best. It is lightweight, has great sight lines and the leather pads are comfortable. Highly recommend!!!
