Chest Protectors:
All three designs are worn by over 90% of the Major League Umpiring staff and are the only chest protectors endorsed by Major League Baseball for use by their umpires.

 

By popular demand Joe West has designed a chest protector for the smaller umpire. The newly designed WESTVEST GOLD and WESTVEST PLATINUM now come in a "Smaller Version." Designed for the umpires who wear smaller than a 38 size jacket. This new smaller protector afford you the same protection as the larger version and gives the perfect fit.  More details regarding our umpire chest protectors....

Umpire Masks:
The masks that were designed for Wilson by Joe West evolved into two single (as opposed to hinged) cross bars for optimal vision. (Masks that have the bars hinged together create a blind spot on balls that are hit up or down) Because all "wire" masks are and have been made of tubular steel Wilson had to "beef" up these cross bars and in so doing started making them of solid steel for strength.

Shin Guards:
The West Vest line of shin guard is the finest protection of any shin guard on the market and is the leader in innovations for one of the toughest areas to protect in the umpires stance - "the knee." Because of our increased padding behind the knee plates, Major League Umpires who get hit with foul tips in the knee do not get "knocked down" because their leg doesn't absorb the blow - the shin guard does.
