The helmet includes a lightweight, durable flat bar carbon steel faceguard and a multi-density padding system for an optimal and secure fit. It meets NOCSAE standards for safety.

Optimus MVP Chest Protector

This chest protector is constructed with a one-piece, energy-absorbing compression-molded design for superior protection. It features abrasion-resistant braided nylon binding and a fully adjustable elastic back harness to ensure a snug and comfortable fit.

Setup and Adjustment

Proper fit is crucial for both protection and comfort. Each component of the CHAMPRO Helmax 2.0 Catcher's Set is designed for easy adjustment.

Helmet Adjustment:

• Place the helmet on the player's head, ensuring the faceguard aligns correctly with the face.
• Adjust the internal padding and straps to achieve a snug fit that does not shift during movement. The helmet should feel secure but not uncomfortably tight.
• Ensure clear peripheral vision is maintained.

Chest Protector Adjustment:

• Put on the chest protector, positioning it centrally over the player's torso.
• Utilize the fully adjustable elastic back harness and Velcro straps to secure the protector. It should sit flat against the body, covering the chest and abdomen without restricting arm movement.
• The shoulder wings should provide additional protection without hindering mobility.

Leg Guard Adjustment:

• Position each leg guard over the player's shins and knees.
• Secure the leg guards using the adjustable straps. Ensure they wrap naturally around the legs, allowing for comfortable squatting and standing.
• The foot guard portion should extend over the top of the shoe for complete protection.

Operating Instructions

Once the gear is properly fitted, the player is ready for use. Always ensure all straps are securely fastened before entering play. The design of the Helmax 2.0 Catcher's Set prioritizes both protection and mobility, allowing catchers to perform effectively while staying safe.

Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and inspection will extend the life of your catcher's set and maintain its protective qualities.

Cleaning:

• After each use, wipe down all components with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat.
• For deeper cleaning, the hard plastic and foam components can be easily sprayed off with water. Allow all parts to air dry completely before storage to prevent mildew.
• The internal padding of the helmet and chest protector can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water.

Storage:

• Store the catcher's set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid storing heavy objects on top of the gear, as this can deform the protective components.

Inspection:

• Periodically inspect all straps, buckles, and Velcro closures for wear and tear. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Check the hard shells and padding for cracks, dents, or excessive compression. Damaged gear should not be used.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your CHAMPRO Helmax 2.0 Catcher's Set, please refer to the following common concerns:

• Discomfort or Improper Fit: Re-adjust all straps and padding. Ensure the correct size set is being used for the player's age and build. Refer to the 'Setup and Adjustment' section.
• Reduced Protection: Inspect all components for damage (cracks, tears, excessive wear). If any protective element is compromised, discontinue use and replace the affected part or the entire set.
• Odor or Mildew: Ensure the gear is thoroughly cleaned and completely air-dried after every use. Store in a well-ventilated area.
