I wear all the gear, all the time. I'm in Phoenix, and while we don't have the humidity, it gets HOT!!! I switched to the Honig's K2 chest protector last year and love it! Lightweight but still provides adequate protection. I'm more concerned about the foul ball straight back at my collarbone than getting hit in the chest. A doctor friend once told me that it does not take much force to snap that bone.


One of my mentors and a well respected umpire in this area only wears a mask and shin guards, no chest protector and no cup! He works the slot and does not flinch. To each his own, I guess.
