Champion Sports P230 Umpire Armor Style Chest Protector for Umpires
The Champion Sports P230 is an armor-style umpire chest protector with a contoured 3 mm molded armor shell, sized 16in. DryTek mesh wicks moisture, EverClean pads resist bacteria and mildew, and a five-point harness with quick-release clips holds it secure. It anchors a pro umpire kit in the umpire gear range.
The molded armor protects against hard foul balls while staying contoured for movement behind the plate.

Padding, Plates and Harness
The P230 fronts a contoured 3 mm molded armor shell for hard-impact protection without bulk, over DryTek mesh that wicks moisture and EverClean pads that resist bacteria and mildew. Full shoulder coverage and a five-point quick-release harness keep it secure and easy to remove. It is the armor-style umpire protector that pairs with a hollow-wire mask like the {a("BM300BK","BM300BK")}.
Fitting the P230
Set the harness so the protector covers the chest and shoulders without restricting movement, and adjust the body pads to fit. Pair it with a mask and leg guards from the same line. Browse the umpire gear and catchers gear ranges to build a kit.
