Champion Sports P170 Pro Style Low Rebound Foam Umpire Chest Protector for Umpires
The Champion Sports P170 is a pro-style low-rebound foam umpire chest protector, sized 16in, made of low-rebound padding with plastic plates that fits under any shirt or sleeve. A four-way back harness, washable mesh cover, and a loop strip for an optional extension make it a versatile concealed protector in the umpire gear range.
It suits umpires who want protection hidden under their shirt rather than worn outside.

Padding, Plates and Harness
The P170 uses low-rebound padding backed by plastic plates, slim enough to fit under any shirt or sleeve for umpires who prefer a concealed protector. A four-way adjustable back harness and a washable mesh cover keep it comfortable, and a loop strip across the bottom accepts a hook-and-loop extension (not included). It pairs with a hollow-wire mask like the {a("BM200BK","BM200BK")}.
Fitting the P170
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.
Where It Fits by Player and Role
| Player / role | Suitability | Notes |

Equipping a Crew or Catcher
For an athletic director or league, the P170 protects the body and pairs with matching gear. Build a full kit from the umpire gear and catchers gear ranges, and see the baseball and softball collection for the field.
Buyer and Fit Workflow
Size the protector to the wearer, set the harness, and check shoulder and sternum coverage. Match it to a mask such as the BM200BK or BM2A and leg or shin guards from the same line.
Who Buys This Protector and Why
Leagues, schools, and umpires buy the P170 for reliable chest and shoulder protection that stays comfortable through a game. The adjustable harness fits a range of body sizes.
A program outfitting umpires is the clearest case, since the P170 pairs with a matching mask and leg protection.
