Well, I got to break in the new umpire gear tonight. Could be my imagination, but it certainly felt lighter that the league gear I'd been borrowing. Especially the mask, which I've got adjusted so I can actually get it off consistently without sending my hat flying. Handy.
And lo, did I need it tonight. Took one bounced pitch off of the arm, two bounced pitches off of the cup, and a foul ball off the clavicle guard. The league chest protectors don't all have arm guards, let alone the extra clavicle piece like mine has.
It was a good well played game, with no crap from the coaches. I think I'm going to be happy with this investment.
