I use the Schutt protector and that is great. I had an "ump" and it made me look like the Michelin Man. I actually tried the Honigs K2 but that did not protect the right areas.

Women can look the part however. There are a few male umpires that don't fit so well into their uniforms either.
I agree with Rachel about the shoes for women. My girlfriend found a pair of size 6 plate shoes and wears some real heavy socks - they seem to work great. She wears the K2 and hasn't had any problems. She has longer hair so her big problem is wearing a hat with the pony tail. Our state association has given the ladies in our state permission to wear adjustable hats instead of the fitted had so their pony tail can fit through the "hole" in the back. Other than that, she has no problem with the prescribed uniform.
