Umpire’s Outside Chest Protector | Balloon Style Shield

Umpire’s Outside Balloon Chest Protector — External Baseball & Softball Umpire Chest Guard Worn Outside the Uniform

For the umpire who prefers the classic “outside” or “balloon” style shield, the Outside Protector offers a massive 21″ x 23.5″ surface area of high-impact security. Engineered to be held or worn over your uniform, this protector provides an expansive wall of safety against wild pitches and foul tips, ensuring you can focus entirely on the strike zone without hesitation.

Combining a rugged nylon exterior with a shock-absorbing core, this is the perfect solution for youth leagues, training, or umpires who prefer the traditional officiating style.

Key Product Features

• Massive Protective Surface: At 21″ wide and 23.5″ tall, this protector provides industry-leading coverage, shielding your chest, stomach, and shoulders from high-velocity impacts.

• Single-Piece Polyurethane Core: The interior features a dense, one-piece polyurethane foam. This “single-block” design ensures there are no weak points or gaps in the padding, offering consistent energy absorption across the entire face of the shield.

• Tough 420D Nylon Cover: Wrapped in heavy-duty 420 Denier Nylon, the exterior is built to resist tears, abrasions, and moisture. It’s tough enough to handle seasons of dirt and high-speed impacts while remaining easy to wipe clean.

• Integrated Ball Pocket: Keep the game moving. A built-in pocket allows for quick access to a spare baseball, eliminating the need to reach for your belt during critical play moments.

• Customizable Fit & Grip: Featuring adjustable web shoulder straps for a secure fit and a convenient waist handle, giving you total control over the shield’s position whether you are standing or in a crouched stance.
