They are a life saver!!!

I noticed it on there yesterday... It is a good deal if they are actually selling them for full price now.

I have the FM4000UMP and really like it, except the bright silver finish is completely gone. It is now a dull gray color. I also have the silver +POS ZRO-G mask, it is basically identical as the 4000UMP, only the bar design is slightly different. The pads and harness are the same as far as I can tell. Last week I received an email from +POS with their ZRO-G masks on sale for $49.95

Maybe he forgot his CP???

Congrats!! Kids are great, I have 3 girls. I umpired a tournament 2 days after our twins were born, looking back on it I can't believe I even asked my wife if I could still umpire...

If you can hold off a little while there is going to be great deals on this style Reebok, when the zig plate shoes are released to the public.

Sorry about your loss

The NFL signed a new apparel agreement this year with Nike, it may take a little time for retailers to catch up on the new gear. Reebok has the contract for the last 10 years or so. The NFL is where the officals/umpire black/white Zigs originated and it trickled down to the public from there.

More like the vending machine...

When you buy these items off craigslist that are not local how do you do the payment? If I pop on one of these items I want to try and have a little protection against getting taken by the seller. Thanks!

Have you ordered from this site? Is it dependable? Thanks

I have a review of this mask as compared to my AllStar FM4000UMP, it is here in the equipment section.

I am considering it for something I need to upgrade this winter.

My smitty combo pants measure 12inches across the leg at the kneee. I believe thier plate pants measure 13 inches.

We might set a record if this topic was ever started...

Sorry for the language but DAMN... that thing is gorgeous!!!

My question... Where do I get a pair of those all white plate shoes???

The NuttyBuddy is truly a the best money I have spend on umpire equipment. I was cleaning up my equipment this weekend to get ready for games tonight and thought I better take a look at my NuttyBuddy to make sure it did not suffer any damage from the hit... well now I have a "NuttyBud". I must have gotten hit on the end of the NuttyBuddy logo and it took the "dy" off!!!

There are a few places I could put this as it would hit here, War Stories, and Funny Topics. I always wear my NuttyBuddy... I had not tested it until last night. I was the PU and it was the bottom of the first inning with a runner on 2nd. The batter swung at a pitch in the dirt, and did not make contact, the ball bounced up hit my NuttyBuddy (loud crack sound) and rolled out toward the pitcher. The batter thought she hit the ball and ran to first while the runner at second went to third. I called time and instructed the batter to return to bat (because she did not hit the ball). It quickly became mass confusion as no one but myself knew what actually happened. The HT coach came out and asked why I was bringing the girl back to bat when she hit the ball. I told the coach that the ball hit my cup not the bat... His reply, how are you able to stand here and talk to me??? Shouldn't you be on the ground in pain??? I let him know I was wearing a NuttyBuddy, the best cup money can buy and this was the first time I have tested it out. I was still somewhat in shock myself that it performed so well and I had hardly felt the hit. He said, Ok I guess we will have to go with your call and play on... and turned around and walked to the dugout. Everyone else in the park was still confused. My partner knew what happened and was in the field laughing the whole time. He was kind enough to remove his hat and place it over his heart with a big grin on his face... After the game he asked what kind of cup I was wearing and I said a NuttyBuddy. He is now going to be ordering one in the next couple days!!!

Welcome

The kids from my hometown (Nebraska) are playing on ESPN right now. Up 4-0 bottom of first.

It is our HS softball season, first day for competition is Aug 16th.

The summer season ended about 2 weeks ago, I worked 134 games and also missed 19 due to rain and scheduling conflicts. The summer ended great, I worked the 10U, 12U, 14U Class B state tournament and the 18U Class C state tournament. In a little over a week our HS season starts, currently I have about 20 games on the schedule and adding more daily.

Are you going to start selling these, or post instructions on how to build???

I have a pair of 3n2 base shoes I would like to sell, they are size 14 and have been worn for about 20 games. I can send pics if you would like. They are in decent shape and show little wear and tear. My picture fill size is to large to upload. Please make me a reasonable offer.
