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.
