If you thought $195 for a Douglas was high, get a load of this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Douglas-Umpire-Chest-Protector-15-/291361768870?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d683c5a6

 

I don't think he knows the market very well. 

 

I actually messaged the guy selling the 10" Douglas and asked him to add a picture with a tape measure in front of it. It does appear it is 10". 

that's GOT to be a mistake!? :no:

 

nope..mine is a 10" as well... love it..

 

No, no, no ....

wasn't referring to that .....thus, the red/bold print  ;)

Oh my great giddy aunt... What is that Douglas made of, depleted Uranium??! Holy kee-ripes! 

 

Switching to another find: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Diamond-Big-League-Umpire-Face-Mask-Baseball-Softball-Protection-BLACK-FRAME/151466977633?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D28791%26meid%3Ddcdab78c9f32492392cbb9156629738e%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D291361768870&rt=nc

 

All of you in possession of a Diamond iX3-UMP (aka a DFM-iX3 or a < 2015 DFM-UMP), or considering or being coerced into getting a Diamond mask, you have my permission to buy the above mask (the DFM-UMP-BL for "Big League"). Lookit the pads on that thing! That is how pads should look! The pads on the previous ones? Suck. They are woeful. They will get you killed. This mask version, with those pads you see, are much better.

Ah, the +POS BB2000 samurai warrior CP. That thing is a FURNACE! Wore another guy's for a couple plate jobs on a trial run in my first year umpiring. Didn't buy it. But, it is a very protective piece of equipment. I recommend it for our Canadian and northern geography umpire brothers. The guy selling it is from Florida. Don't think he could give it away down there. Hahaha.

I heard it got hot, might be a good pickup for someone personally I like my Douglas/P200 duo but it could work for someone.

For travel ball because I would rather save my GD pants for High school. What do you guys think?

aiber,

I'm not sure those Smitty poly-wools got great reviews (see the 'equipment section).  However, ...the regular Smitty Charcoal pants fit the bill nicely.  They look nice, and last, and better, turn out great from right out of the dryer!

It should. There is a drop down tab under the post that says "options". You can delete from there.

Today's Browsing through eBay found a Wilson Gold CP in very good condition:
https://www.ebay.com/p/Wilson-WTA3210-Pro-Gold-Umpire-Chest-Protector-Black-Medium-large/1119110989?iid=292476340967&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D50074%26meid%3D0daec0fe7f364702b60d8b6d0e85a3d7%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D282874635516%26itm%3D292476340967&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

It's a L/XL

And I've always said, a Wilson Gold CP (like its Platinum sibling) is a good CP, and if you find one in good shape, use it. Just don't buy a brand new one at the exorbitant, wallet-gouging retail price.

Got size wrong the first time, thanks ChrisUrbz
