Measuring for Chest Protector Length:
- Recommended Fit: Measure from your neck to a point 2-3 inches above the navel for optimal fit.
- Personal Preference: Some umpires may prefer the bottom of the chest protector closer to the naval for additional protection.
- Consider your stance, level, and experience when determining the desired length.
- For extra length, select chest protectors with a sizing plate or extension.
General Notes:
- If in doubt, opt for the larger of two sizes.
- If needed urgently, order two sizes and return the less suitable one.
- Smaller sizes are most commonly returned.
Adjusting Your Chest Protector:
- Tighten the straps at the top and sides for a secure fit.
- In front of a mirror, check that the protector covers your collarbone and ribs.
- Ensure the chest protector is comfortable and easy to remove.
- Note for Hard Shell Protectors: They may require time to conform in the shoulders. Use a hair dryer to heat and gently bend this area for a better fit.

Behind the plate lies a revolution in protection. The DX Enduro D3O® harnesses AeroMax technology that moves unnoticed with your every motion at just 5/8" thin, then transforms in microseconds to tame brutal impact.
This is where cutting-edge science meets the art of the unseen - D3O's non-Newtonian marvel that moves invisibly until that split-second when everything changes. What you can't see can save you. The DX Enduro D3O disappears twice - first behind your uniform, then by dissolving brutal impact before you feel it strike.
D3O ® AeroMax: Protection When It Matters
Traditional chest protectors use outdated technology, forcing you to accept either inadequate protection or excessive bulk that restricts mobility. D3O® AeroMax eliminates this compromise through advanced rate-sensitive technology that remains ultra-slim and flexible until impact, then instantly hardens to disperse energy with greater efficiency than conventional foams twice its thickness.
Ultra Low Profile Performance
- Ultra-Slim Profile At just 5/8" thick with 12mm AeroMax in critical areas and 8mm throughout covered by 3mm HDPE hard plates.
- Superior Impact Science: D3O's proprietary non-Newtonian material delivers protection that activates precisely when needed
- Hydrophobic Technology: Unlike bulky open-cell foams that absorb sweat and become heavier during use, D3O's hydrophobic properties prevent moisture absorption, keeping weight down, odor to a minimum and your shirt dry.
- Body-Conforming Design: The dense D3O Aeromax material creates an exceptional fit that "fits like a slipper" - feeling like an extension of your body rather than equipment you're wearing
-
Engineered Ventilation: Strategic perforations manage heat during extended wear
Designed With Modularity
The DX Enduro D3O combines the most advanced materials with a field-proven design. The fully adjustable configuration includes a removable neck piece and pectoral wings for a customized fit without compromising protection. Premium aluminum G-hooks secure the harness to the chest protector, eliminating the reliability concerns of plastic side buckles that are difficult to connect and prone to breaking upon impact. The hard plates are fully removable from the D3O padded vest, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance with a simple wipe down.
Professionalism Behind the Plate
Your appearance matters. The DX Enduro's ultra-slim profile ensures you look the part, not a hulking linebacker. Maintain the clean, authoritative appearance umpires should project while enjoying superior protection that works as hard as you do. For Amateur Umpires. With Professional Standards.

Care Guide
Store the chest protector at room temperature in a ventilated, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid placing heavy objects on it or storing it in extreme temperatures. If the product becomes wet during use, ensure it is thoroughly dry before storing. Never fold or compress the DX Enduro D3O in ways it is not designed for.
For cleaning, remove the hard plates before wiping the pads with a damp cloth. Avoid using detergents, cleaning agents, or washing machines, as these can irreparably damage the D3O material and reduce its effectiveness. Allow the pads to air dry in a well-ventilated space at room temperature. Do not use hair dryers, heaters, or other heat sources to accelerate drying.
