Force3 Defender Umpire Mask

Joseph M., Jackson, WI

7/1/2026

Last week, I took one of the hardest direct hits I've ever had. The mask performed flawlessly—absorbing the force exactly as expected based on everything I've read and seen. I experienced no impact at all, and the mask stayed perfectly snug the entire time.

Smitty Premium Knit Polyester Softball Umpire / Referee Shorts

Kevin O., Plantsville, CT

7/1/2026

I really enjoyed wearing these Smitty Premium shorts for the first time. They fit really well and offer great breathability, which is a massive plus during hot summer games. They also feature plenty of pocket space—the two front slash and two back pockets easily hold my clicker, notebook, and sunflower seeds. Great quality, wrinkle-resistant, and highly functional on the field.

All-Star 4-Dial Die Cast Steel Umpire Indicator - 3/2/2 Count

Niklas G., East Preston, WEST SUSSEX

6/30/2026

I saw some negative reviews here so wanted to give a really positive one. I've used this indicator for three months and roughly twenty games now, and I love it. You learn the notches in a couple of games, you still check but it's really handy to just feel it. I like the weight, it feels solid in my hand and it's thin enough that I can take my mask off with my left hand without any problems. The mechanism is clear and crisp. I added a couple of drops of oil into each dial and it made it so smooth I felt like Clint Eastwood. I don't think I could ever go back to a plastic or un-notched indicator now. I can't recommend this highly enough.
