Since you are starting out, try out a hockey style mask. Most anyone who's tried them wouldn't go back. I'm partial to the all-star version.
UnderArmour is a MUST. That stuff rocks! Never leave home with out it.
The best piece of advice I can give you is to check ebay. You can get great deals on just about any umpire gear you need. You will get it for half of what you would pay retail.
The Ump-Attire ball bag is great. Love the pocket and it holds the balls nicely as well. Get one eventually.

Well I am certainly wiser than this man. It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
