Smitty Oversized Softball Umpire Ball Bag

Rich H., Altoona, WI

This is the ball bag I have been looking for! There is plenty of room for extra balls, both baseballs and softballs. The pockets work great for lineup cards, bush, etc. The only drawback is that I wish it came in charcoal grey.

Smitty Performance Poly Spandex Charcoal Grey Plate Umpire Pants

Great pants! They fit over my shin guards and are very comfortable. I highly recommend them.

Force3 Defender Umpire Mask

Ian Auzenne, New Orleans, LA

After wearing this mask for two years, I finally took a direct shot to it last week. I heard the clank, but I never felt the impact. Yes, it's a little heavy and will take some time to get used to if you typically wear a lightweight mask, but the protection it provides is worth every penny. Pro tip: Make sure you wear a tight hat with this mask. Otherwise, the weight of the mask will cause your hat to sink and lead to head and/or neck pain.
