I'm big enough to wear mens apparel and shoes, but I'm always keeping a look out for gear and apparel for the smaller women I call with. Here is a pretty decent price for women's base shoes. http://www.zappos.com/asics-gel-180-tr~2 Here is another website that sells ASA pants, they are only in Heather and Navy. This site also carries a Scorpion chest protector by Schutt and the Schutt mask, which is actually the Diamond mask, just rebranded. http://www.shop.at-3services.com/Softball-Baseball_c2.htm?page=all

Talk to me about the Black Honigs Mask WIth Used Black Leather Pads and the Diamond Ix3's 15 in CP.

One word for Ump-Attire.com, Paypal The great things, and there are only 2, about Fifth Region is that they take Paypal and they sell ASA apparel. Did I mention they take Paypal?

How much for the Powder with navy/white Cliff Keen?

That softball specific CP is a HUGE no-no for women... a CP for women is the equilvalent to a cup for men.

I would be in <3 with Ump-Attire if they took paypal. They could help with the leggings and mask, but I don't think they carry the schutt cp.

I imagine none of the guys here have used it because it just came out this fall. Do you softball or baseball?

Has anyone tried the CCM SG100 Referee Shin Guards? They have a wrap around back closure. http://www.icewarehouse.com/descpage.html?pcode=SG100 They make Shin Sleeves that might help keeping the ankle padding in place. http://www.refcloset.com/ShinSleeve.html

I personally wear a Diamond iX3 Umpire Chest Protector and I currently do JUCO (Junior College) and some DII. I have used it for 2 years now with no issues, including several games in which the eventual JUCO National Champion played. Last summer, I went to an ASA 12U National Championship and talked with a couple of female Schutt reps about the new Scorpion Umpire Chest Protector. http://www.schuttsports.com/aspx/Sport/ProductCatalog.aspx?id=1277 They didn't have a sample, as it was just coming out, but one of them had her own personal Scorpion CP in the car. What is great about this CP is it is based on the Scorpion Catcher's CP, which is made specifically for women. It is super lightweight and fits very comfortably. This online retailer has it for $54.95 and does ship internationally and you can calculate the shipping with the item in the cart. They also carry the Schutt Air-Flex 2 Umpire Chest Protector. http://www.dowdlesports.com/Schutt-Scorpion-Umpire-Chest-Protector_p_3419.html I need a new equipment bag and some pants, but this will definitely be my next purchase.

Nope, not related to Danny or Linda... that I know of.

Hello (Ladies? and) Gentlemen I have been checking out this page for a couple of years now and just decided to break down and register/join. I am from Birmingham, AL and only umpire SOFTBALL. I umpire USSSA Rec ball (6U-18U), ASA Travel Ball (10U-18U), Premier Girls Fastpitch (18U), NFHS softball, JUCO, and some DII and DIII college softball. I'm just wondering if there are any other strickly SOFTBALL guys and gals on here? I do use some of the tips and tricks (especially gear related) I have read on here, but just wondering if more of you speak my language? Thanks, Gaulden (my last name, as I am a Jennifer, and I played college softball on a team with 4 Jennifers)
