I've got good equipment and wear it all, every game. Working in the gym, with the local college team, the only piece I didn't wear was the cup and I felt somewhat exposed.

I do have a friend who is one of the finest umps I know and he does not wear much gear - he wears shin guards and a mask. I don't recall ever seeing him get hit. I've watched him enough to know he does not flinch.
