About
CHSSUA Umpire Gear for Colorado High School Softball Officials Officials working within the Colorado High School Softball Umpire Association need gear that performs consistently across a fast-paced, weather-variable season. The CHSSUA collection at Honig’s is built for umpires actively working games across Colorado and needing equipment that holds up through travel, altitude, and frequent assignments. Softball presents a different pace and rhythm than baseball. Shorter distances, quicker plays, and more frequent action mean umpires rely heavily on mobility, positioning, and clear sightlines. At the same time, plate umpires still require dependable protection that can handle repeated impact. Colorado adds another layer. Early season games can be cool and unpredictable, while mid-season play often happens in warmer, high-altitude conditions where fatigue becomes a factor. Gear needs to perform without adjustment from first inning to last. Most umpires using this page are not building their first setup. They are replacing worn plate gear, rotating in new shirts and pants, upgrading footwear, or ensuring consistency across crews and assignments. This Softball Gear collection includes: Plate gear including masks, chest protectors, and leg guards Base gear including shoes, pants, and shirts Footwear built for both stability and movement Accessories used throughout the season At this level, gear should never be a distraction. It should support your positioning, timing, and decision-making. To learn more about the association, visit the Colorado High School Softball Umpire Association official website.
