DX Enduro D3O® Umpire Chest Protector

Not all chest protectors perform the same. When yours takes a direct shot, you either shake it off and call the next pitch. Or you don't.

The DX Enduro disappears twice: first behind your shirt, then by dispersing impact before you feel it strike.

D3O AeroMax makes both possible. Rate-sensitive technology that stays slim and flexible until impact. When you're hit, polymer chains lock together instantly, dispersing energy more efficiently than conventional foams twice its thickness. At 8-12mm of D3O, the DX Enduro delivers protection that traditional foams need 18mm or more to match. That's the difference between a chest protector that hides and one that announces itself.

3mm HDPE hard plates distribute impact across the D3O surface before energy reaches you. Rigid enough to spread force. Thin enough to maintain the low profile. Heat the plates and shape them yourself for a customized fit that matches your body.

The result: flat shoulders instead of football pads. Clean lines under your shirt and plate coat. Body-conforming construction that moves with every stance adjustment. Fits like a slipper.

Unlike open-cell foams that absorb sweat and gain weight through the game, D3O's hydrophobic properties keep weight constant and odor minimal. Wipe clean between games. No trapped sweat means no lingering odor and faster turnaround.

Aluminum G-hooks secure fast and stay connected. No plastic buckles to fumble between innings or snap mid-game. Removable neck piece and pectoral wings let you configure coverage to conditions and preference.

Recommended For: All levels of baseball. Excels with pitch speeds in excess of 90 mph.

Care Instructions

Store the chest protector at room temperature in a ventilated, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid placing heavy objects on it or storing it in extreme temperatures. If the product becomes wet during use, ensure it is thoroughly dry before storing. Never fold or compress the DX Enduro D3O in ways it is not designed for.

For cleaning, remove the hard plates before wiping the pads with a damp cloth. Avoid using detergents, cleaning agents, or washing machines, as these can irreparably damage the D3O material and reduce its effectiveness. Allow the pads to air dry in a well-ventilated space at room temperature. Do not use hair dryers, heaters, or other heat sources to accelerate drying.

⚠️ Safety Information

Proper Fit Required for Maximum Protection

This chest protector is designed using D3O® rate-sensitive impact technology, which remains flexible during regular movement but stiffens instantly upon impact to help disperse force and reduce the risk of injury.

For this technology to work effectively, the chest protector must be worn tightly and snugly against the body. A loose or improperly fitted protector may create air gaps—spaces between the protector and your body—that significantly reduce the product’s ability to absorb and spread impact energy. In these cases, the material may stiffen before making full contact with the body, causing it to behave more like a hard object striking the body rather than cushioning the blow. This can lead to greater localized force and a higher risk of injury. Additionally, a poor fit may expose areas that were intended to be protected.

For your safety, always ensure the chest protector is correctly fitted and adjusted before each use. No protective equipment can eliminate all risk of injury, and this product should be inspected regularly and discontinued if damaged or worn.
