Boombah

I just saw some Boombah umpire equipment for sale on SidelineSwap.  Never knew Boombah had any umpire equipment.

Can you post screenshots of what you're talking about if you don't want a link it, I'd be curious to know

Softball. 🥎 They’re more prominent and recognizable in softball than baseball. That being said, their gear is going to be just as serviceable for softball as for most amateur baseball. I’ve seen that same hard-shoulders / sheathed-torso CP design branded as Pro-9 or Champro. It works, it’s protective; it gets poo-pooh’d because it never achieves a good fit on its own – due to the lack of a proper flex harness – and the absence of a big gold “W” on it. 

To be fair, they’re kinda frumpy… but no less frumpy than a poorly fit and worn WestVest. 😬

Those shinguards look pretty good! I’d take those over Golds any day of the week. 

Boombah actually makes a titanium traditional mask, if ya can believe it. It’s the same planform as an Easton Speed Elite, but in titanium. Not a bad option, if you really want a titanium but don’t want to pay premium costs for an Icon, or All-Star FM25Ti, or think a Rawlings TiMX is underwhelming… or you don’t feel like giving any more of your hard-earned money to the big gold W.

Sold here as a package? It’s a bit overpriced, if I gotta say.
