Softball Umpire Gear

The Mizuno Samurai Baseball Catcher's Face Mask is built to keep backstops protected without weighing them down. This mask is constructed from hollow-construction Chromoly steel, a strong yet lightweight alloy, finished with a reduced-weight powder coating so catchers get maximum protection with minimal fatigue over a long game behind the plate. A built-in throat protector shields the neck from foul tips, while a breathable mesh face liner and adjustable harness deliver a comfortable, secure fit inning after inning. It's a proven, no-nonsense mask for programs that want durable protection at a fair price.

Key features & specs:

• Hollow-construction Chromoly steel frame: strong and lightweight
• Reduced-weight powder coating cuts mask weight without sacrificing strength
• Built-in throat protector for foul-tip protection
• Breathable mesh face liner for comfort and airflow
• Adjustable harness for a secure, custom fit
• Adult traditional profile; Mizuno Style #380438

Coach's tip: check the harness tension before every game so the mask sits stable and clears cleanly on a pop-up. Wipe down the frame and liner after use and store dry to prevent rust and odor.

Add upper-arm coverage to your chest protector with the Pronine 4½-inch Bicep Extensions. Sold as a pair, these padded extensions attach to a Pronine CPU chest protector to shield the biceps from foul tips, backswings, and errant throws — the exposed zone many plate umpires wish their protector covered. It's a simple upgrade that turns a good chest protector into a more complete piece of protective gear.

Key features & specs:

• Bicep extension pads designed for use with the Pronine CPU chest protector
• Sold in pairs for balanced left- and right-arm coverage
• 4½-inch length adds protection to the exposed upper-arm area
• Attaches to the existing CPU harness and shoulder system
• Color black to match your Pronine umpire kit

Coach's tip: Position the extensions so they cover the outer bicep in your set stance, where most foul tips catch you. Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth after games, air-dry completely, and store flat with your chest protector.

Work the plate all doubleheader long with the Pronine Adjustable Umpire's Leg Guards. Built to disappear under your pants while still taking every foul tip and backswing, these guards pair a ventilated wrap-around design with a floating knee cap that flexes naturally in the crouch. Removable, washable liners keep them cool and fresh across a hot season, and the adjustable sizing means one pair fits a wide range of officials comfortably.

Key features & specs:

• Wrap-around, webbed, ventilated mesh padding for airflow and comfort
• Ventilated ABS plastic shin plate with embedded plastic ankle protection
• Floating middle knee cap for exceptional flex, plus a deep wrap-around main knee cap
• Removable, washable, adjustable knee pad and Cool Max shin liner
• Washable and quick-drying; designed for both men and women
• Adjustable 15–17 inch size fits under most makes of umpire pants; color black

Coach's tip: Set the straps snug but not tight so the floating knee cap can move with you through every pitch. Care: Remove the liner and knee pad, hand-wash, and air-dry; wipe the ABS shell clean and store flat.

Get maximum lower-leg coverage behind the plate with the Champro Pro-Plus Umpire Leg Guard. A triple-knee design extends protection up the thigh, while contour-molded, ventilated shin caps shield the front of the leg and keep air moving on hot days. Full calf and ankle wings wrap the sides, and an extra-long hinged instep cap guards the top of the foot — a key feature for umpires who don't wear protective footwear.

Key features & specs:

• Triple-knee design for added upper-leg protection
• Contour-molded, ventilated shin caps for coverage and airflow
• Full calf and ankle wings for wraparound side protection
• Extra-long hinged instep/foot cap — removes with a screwdriver
• Low-profile build ideal for plate umpires who don't wear protective shoes
• SKU: CS-CG385-CG370-CG355

Coach's tip: Take advantage of the removable instep cap — leave it on if you wear plate shoes without toe protection, or take it off for a lighter setup if your footwear already covers the foot. Care: Wipe the caps clean after games, air-dry the straps and liners so sweat doesn't degrade the elastic, and store flat to protect the molded shape.

Stay protected behind the plate with the Champro Umpire Outside Protector. This traditional body protector shields the chest, shoulders, and midsection from foul tips and errant pitches, giving umpires confidence to work close and make the call. One-piece polyurethane foam absorbs and disperses impact, while a tough 420-denier nylon cover stands up to season after season of contact and handling.

Key features & specs:

• One-piece polyurethane foam for reliable impact protection
• Tough 420D nylon cover for durability
• Dimensions: 21" x 23.5"
• Built-in ball pocket to keep spare baseballs handy
• Adjustable web shoulder straps with a handle at the waist for easy carry
• SKU: CS-CP07-B

Coach's tip: Adjust the shoulder straps so the protector sits high enough to guard the collarbone but still lets you turn and track the ball freely. Care: Wipe the nylon cover down after games, let it air out so sweat doesn't sit in the foam, and store it flat or hung so the padding keeps its shape.

Add a critical layer of protection to your mask with the Pronine Umpire's Throat Guard. This 4-inch guard hangs from the bottom of your umpire or catcher's mask to shield the throat from foul tips and deflected balls — one of the most vulnerable spots behind the plate. Quick to attach and just as quick to remove, it's an inexpensive piece of insurance no plate official or catcher should work without.

Key features & specs:

• 4-inch hanging throat guard for umpire and catcher's masks
• Velcro attachment for fast on-and-off setup
• Fits Pronine CH1SZ, CHYTH, and CHPRO mask models
• Shields the throat from foul tips and deflected pitches
• Sold separately; color black

Coach's tip: Check that the guard swings freely and fully covers the throat opening before every game — a guard that's ridden up or torn loose isn't protecting anything. Care: Wipe clean with a damp cloth, keep the Velcro free of debris so it holds firmly, and store attached to your mask.

Make every call heard with the Champro Electronic Whistle. A push-button electronic whistle delivers a loud, consistent tone every time — no lung power required — which is ideal for officials working multiple games, coaches running long practices, or anyone who wants a touchless option. It reaches a commanding 120 dB in any direction, cutting through crowd noise and carrying across the field or court.

Key features & specs:

• Loud, consistent whistle tone with each press of the button
• Reaches 120 dB projected in any direction
• Touch-free operation — no blowing required
• Complete with a wrist rope strap for quick access
• Requires 2 AAA batteries (not included)
• SKU: CS-A339

Coach's tip: Great for officials and coaches who work back-to-back games — and the no-blow design is a smart hygienic choice for shared or high-use settings. Choose from multiple tones if your model offers them to distinguish your whistle from a nearby field. Care: Keep it clean and dry, remove the batteries during long-term storage to prevent corrosion, and carry it on the included wrist strap so it's always ready.

Mark the line to gain precisely with the Champro Chain Clip / Yard Marker. This bright orange nylon marker attaches to the chain-crew system to track yardage, giving officials a clear, adjustable reference for measurements and first-down spots. A black plastic slider marks yardage from 0 to 50 in five-yard increments, and the end metal clip fastens securely to the chain so it stays exactly where the crew sets it.

Key features & specs:

• High-visibility orange nylon marker
• Black plastic slider marks yardage from 0 to 50 in 5-yard increments
• End metal clip fastens securely to the chain
• 14" long for a clear, readable reference
• Part of a complete chain-crew measurement setup
• SKU: CS-AF51

Coach's tip: Set the slider carefully at the start of each series so measurements are consistent — an accurate clip is what makes a chain measurement fair and beyond dispute. Care: Wipe it down after wet games, keep the slider moving freely, and store it with the chain gear so it's ready for the next game.

Keep your sideline crew clearly identified with the Champro Sideline Official Pinnies (Set of 3). Chain crews and sideline officials need to be instantly recognizable to players, coaches, and game officials — this set delivers with one diamond pinnie and two striped pinnies, the standard configuration for a down-and-distance crew. Lightweight nylon and adjustable side closures make them quick to throw on over any clothing in any weather.

Key features & specs:

• Set of 3 nylon pinnies: 1 diamond and 2 striped
• Standard configuration for a football chain/sideline crew
• Elastic sides with hook-and-loop fastener closures for an adjustable fit
• Lightweight nylon layers easily over jackets or shirts
• Makes sideline officials instantly recognizable
• SKU: CS-P422

Coach's tip: Keep the set with the chain gear so the crew is properly identified before every game — it's a small detail officials notice and appreciate. Care: Spot-clean the nylon as needed, let the pinnies dry fully before storage, and check the hook-and-loop closures periodically so they keep a secure hold.

Cut the glare and stay sharp on sunny afternoons with the Champro Sun Visor. This simple add-on clips to the top pad of your umpire mask to shade your eyes, reduce squinting, and fight the fatigue that builds over a long day behind the plate. It also adds UV protection, helping officials track pitches cleanly when the sun sits low over the outfield.

Key features & specs:

• Easily attaches to the top pad of the mask
• Reduces sun glare and eye fatigue for clearer pitch tracking
• Provides UV protection
• Fits Champro CM57B, CM58B, CM63B, CM71, and CM72 masks
• Sold separately (mask not included)
• SKU: CS-CMSV

Coach's tip: Keep one in the umpire bag for day games and afternoon doubleheaders — it makes a real difference when the sun drops toward the horizon in the late innings. Care: Wipe it clean after use, check that it stays firmly clipped to the pad before each game, and store it flat so it keeps its shape.

The Champro CM72 is the go-to entry-level umpire mask for recreational, youth league, and amateur baseball and softball umpires who want a well-built, lightweight protection option without paying premium prices. At just 18 oz, it reduces neck and head fatigue during extended behind-the-plate assignments while still providing the structural durability needed to handle foul tips and rebounding pitches throughout the season.

• • Hollow-Wire Steel Frame at 18 oz – Lightweight hollow-wire steel construction keeps the mask at a manageable 18 ounces — significantly lighter than solid-frame alternatives — reducing neck strain and fatigue during back-to-back games and extended game assignments without sacrificing the structural integrity needed to absorb foul tip and rebound impacts
  • Dri-Gear Ergo-Fit Moisture-Wicking Pads – Synthetic Ergo-Fit pads are treated with Dri-Gear technology to actively wick sweat away from the face and forehead during hot-weather games, keeping umpires dry, comfortable, and focused through late-inning situations without pad saturation
  • Hook-and-Loop Removable Pads – Pads attach and detach via hook-and-loop straps in seconds, making between-game cleaning straightforward — wipe down the pads and frame separately, then reattach without tools or wrestling with the mask hardware
  • Extended Coverage — Ears, Throat, and Oversized Forehead – Frame extends beyond the standard face protection zone to cover the ears and throat and features an oversized forehead extension, providing additional protection for the areas most vulnerable to foul tips and stray pitches that travel outside the central strike zone
  • Adjustable Harness Included – Comes with an adjustable rear harness that secures the mask firmly to a wide range of adult head sizes, keeping the mask in proper position through the crouching and quick-movement demands of behind-the-plate work without slipping or shifting mid-play
  • Baseball and Softball Compatible – Available in black and silver finishes to suit both baseball and softball umpire uniform standards, making it a versatile single-mask choice for officials who work across both sports throughout the season

Get your umpire mask back to game-ready in minutes with the Champro Replacement Mask Harness. The harness is the strap system that holds the mask securely to your head, and it's one of the first parts to stretch out or wear through with regular use. Rather than replace an entire mask when the straps give out, swap in a fresh harness and restore a snug, stable fit that stays put through every crouch and quick move behind the plate.

Key features & specs:

• Replacement strap harness for umpire face masks
• Fits all Champro® umpire face masks
• Fits most non-Champro® masks for versatile compatibility
• Restores a secure, adjustable fit when original straps stretch or wear
• Inexpensive fix that extends the life of your mask
• SKU: CS-CM60H

Coach's tip: Keep a spare harness in the umpire bag — a snapped strap mid-game is an easy save when you're not scrambling for a whole backup mask. Care: Adjust the straps for a firm, even fit, inspect them for fraying between games, and let them dry out after sweaty or wet assignments.

The Champro Officials' Whistle is a pealess, high-pitch whistle built for serious officiating in loud environments. With no cork pill to stick or freeze, its wind-chamber design delivers a piercing, consistent tone that cuts through crowd noise and gym echo — so your calls are heard instantly, every time. The included mouth cushion adds comfort during long games and tournaments, and serious officials rely on a pealess whistle for the loudest, most consistent tone in any conditions.

Key features & specs:

• Pealess design — no cork pill to stick or fail
• Wind chambers produce a high-pitch, piercing tone
• Cuts through high crowd and gym noise
• Includes a mouth cushion for comfort
• Includes lanyard for hands-free carry
• Weatherproof performance for indoor and outdoor sports
• Recommended for official use at every level

Coach's tip: A pealess whistle is the reliable choice for cold-weather and outdoor sports where cork pills freeze or jam. Rinse it after use, let it dry, and store indoors to keep the mouth cushion and chambers clean.

The Champro Large Plastic Whistle with Lanyard is a loud, dependable whistle for coaches, officials, and PE teachers who need to be heard across a gym or field. The classic cork-pill design produces a strong, full-volume trill, and the included lanyard with a steel attachment ring keeps the whistle around your neck and ready the moment you need to stop play. It's the affordable, dependable choice for stocking a coaching staff or PE department.

Key features & specs:

• Classic cork-pill design for maximum volume
• Durable large plastic body
• Steel ring for secure lanyard attachment
• Includes lanyard for hands-free carry
• Loud enough to carry across a gym or field
• Ideal for coaches, officials, and PE teachers alike

Coach's tip: Keep a spare on hand — cork-pill whistles can stick if stored wet, so let it dry out fully between sessions. Rinse it occasionally and store indoors to keep the pill moving freely and the tone strong.
