Measuring for Chest Protector Length:

  1. Recommended Fit: Measure from your neck to a point 2-3 inches above the navel for optimal fit.
  2. Personal Preference: Some umpires may prefer the bottom of the chest protector closer to the naval for additional protection.
  3. Consider your stance, level, and experience when determining the desired length.
  4. 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.

Davis Apex Umpire Chest Protector
  • Strategically Layered for Maximum Protection: The Davis Apex Chest Protector features 3mm hard plates over a layer of advanced foam, including a proprietary cross-linked EVA and PE copolymer. This ensures optimal impact absorption where it's needed most. The plates are directly under a durable 400D polyester fabric and complemented by a soft interior lining, offering a balanced combination of durability and comfort.
  • Tailored for Movement and Comfort: Designed with an ergonomic pre-curved torso, the Apex chest protector hugs the body's contours for a close, secure fit. Its slim 7/8" profile and lightweight at under 2.5 lbs ensure umpires can move freely and comfortably, without feeling restricted or bulky.
  • Customizable Fit for Most Umpires: The Apex comes available in 12" or 14" lengths, with an optional 3" padded extension for adjustable torso length, accommodating umpires of various builds.
  • Built to Last with Easy Care: Featuring a durable outer fabric designed to resist the rigors of the game and a comfortable inner lining, the Apex Chest Protector is both sturdy and easy to maintain. Its construction is designed for durability, ensuring umpires get a reliable piece of gear that stands up to the demands.

Designed with the discerning umpire in mind, the Davis Apex Chest Protector marries sleek aesthetics with peak protection. It employs a layering approach, featuring 3mm hard plates atop a thoughtful laminated foam stack for impact dispersion, all while maintaining a slim 7/8" profile for agility and comfort. This protector emphasizes a less intrusive fit, allowing umpires to maintain a low profile without sacrificing safety. The Apex's thoughtful design extends to its adjustable sizing, ensuring a tailored fit that adapts to individual needs for unmatched comfort and mobility on the field.

Davis Apex Umpire Chest Protector 12"
I have only used it a couple times but it seems to work very well, I like the fact it is shorter than most on the market but comes with the extension so if I needed it longer. I used it for college softball.

The Apex chest protector is low profile and fits very well. It looks great and I would recommend it to anyone that’s looking for a low profile chest protector.

Davis Apex Umpire Chest Protector 14"
I really like this CP! I have worn it 4 times now and i think i finally have it dialed in. Hint: a looser fit works better. I umpire JUCO softball and took a really hard shot on the right chest upper arm area and this APEX protector worked like a charm!! I also like the way it curves around your torso, and it has a quality harness. It looks like some of those Belgard cp on Ebay that sell for over $500

Davis Apex Umpire Chest Protector 14"
I really like the idea behind this CP. A hard shell CP that wraps around you and covers the plates so you don't snag your shirt. The fit with the wrap/curve is excellent. The protection is very good too. My only negative comment for it is that it is a bit bulkier than I was hoping it would be. I can still wear my normal sized shirt on the plate, but it is just a little larger on my chest than I'd hoped... a small price to pay for a great protector.

It is a nice protector, but the shoulder caps are really big. I was thinking it would be a little smaller, It is smaller then a WesVEst but bigger then I was hopping for

Thanks for the review Robert. We really recommend shaping the shoulder and gap plates with your hands or a blow drier to get the best fit possible. Any questions at all, please feel free to reach out to us at safe@gerrydavis.com.
