Force3 Ultimate Umpire Shin Guards With Dupont™ Kevlar®

Christopher P., Des Allemands, LA

6/22/2026

Very comfortable. Fits perfectly into my plate shoes, giving me more protection than my other shin guards. I took a foul ball to the shin guard the other day; I didn’t feel a thing. Heard the loud sound of the softball hitting the guard. Looked up to my partners who suggested this to me, and we smiled and laughed about it. I told him, "You were right, I didn’t feel a thing."

Force3 V3 Ultimate Umpire Chest Protector With Dupont™ Kevlar®

John P., Greeley, CO

6/22/2026

This chest protector is way overpriced and doesn’t protect for the price. I’ve taken shots in 12u baseball and felt the sting. I’m glad it wasn’t high school. I'm moving on to a different hard shell recommended by a fellow umpire. I wish I could get my money back.

Smitty All-Black Mid-Cut Umpire Plate Shoes

William O., Walla Walla, WA

6/21/2026

I was a little apprehensive when I first got them. They are well-padded and seem like they would be very hot in summer heat. But, I was very comfortable in 90+ heat on an artificial turf field. As comfortable as can be expected in 90 degrees. My feet felt fine working back-to-back games behind the plate.
