The Holy Grail of umpire gear

[kylejt]

Here it is, and I wonder how high it will go.

I don't particularly care them, after getting a concussion wearing one, but some gear heads will sell body organs to get one. My used one fetched $175 several years ago. I'll be this pulls three bills plus.

I'm guessing the warranty isn't valid.

...actually if you want to talk about the 'holy grail' of umpire gear, it would be the Riddel Power chest protector which normally sell for around $500 any time someone puts it up for sale on ebay.

How dissapointed I was, to find out the holy grail was this POS, and NOT an air conditioned cup holder.

Holy Grail???? This P.O.S.?

Are you kidding me?

Hey, I've got air conditioned cup holders in my Escalade. Pretty silly, but they work.

I've had, and sold the Power cp on eBay. It got none of the frenzy that the POS mask got. Again, I didn't really care for it. Bad visibility, and I took a beating in it. It's just that it has a cult following.

That mask would look great on a new "Jason" type movie killer.

Other than the blue, green, and red masks some umpires steal from little league catchers equipment bags, thats about the ugliest mask I've ever seen.

[LakeErieUmp]

How about an air conditioned CUP for those really sweaty, humid nights

[johnnyg08]

I have this mask and personally love it. Yes, the sight lines could be better, but you can't beat the weight...I think I paid $100 for mine on Ebay too...but that was 6 years ago...you can't get the replacement pads anymore either...sweet mask...if you're looking for a lightweight mask, this is your answer.

"Wasn't the carbon-fibre mask pulled from production because some of them shattered?"

Yes Tim, the combination of sun light, heat and the carbon fibre made the mask brittle and would break when hit by a foul ball.

+POS even did a recall on the mask and their insurance provider gave a cutoff date for any liability issues.

I'm guessing the warranty isn't still valid.

One day before the end of the auction, this guy lists another new SUL200. Talk about stupid, this joker just undercut his original mask with another of his own. What an eBay rookie move.

I think this is +POS selling off its inventory. Wouldn't count on a warranty.

I always thought it was a Carlucci cp. I am lucky enough to have one and it totally rules and has from day one. Fit me perfectly out of the box and I have taken three direct, hard shots with it that I have shaken off easily.
