Wilson EZ Catcher Gear Kit Review

July 15, 2020 By It's A Yard Life

Wilson EZ Catcher’s Gear

The Wilson EZ Gear Kit is a youth catcher’s set that protects and ensures that every young baseball and softball catcher is in a position to perform to the best of their ability. The high-quality equipment is sturdy, easy to put on and take off, and every youth player who wears it will definitely look the part.

Included in this complete kit is a strong, protective helmet, chest protector, and a set of leg guards to protect young children’s legs. A range of innovative technologies makes it more likely that every game a child plays will be safe, comfortable and enjoyable, making this a good choice for beginners.

What Are the Key Features That Matter?

The helmet is constructed from premium grade ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). It gives young players 360-degree protection and its venting feature allows players to stay cool while they compete.

Wilson EZ Catcher’s GearOne-time Adjustable System

Young baseball and softball catchers usually want to put on and take off their equipment as quickly as possible during a game. The QuickChange one-time adjustable system featuret allows players to set and forget it, so they can put on, or take off the equipment in less than 10 seconds.

Different Sizes and Colors

Wilson EZ Gear Kits are suitable for boys and girls who range in age from 5 to 12 years old. The Small/Medium kit fits children from 5 to 7 years, while the Large/X-large kit fits kids aged between 7 and 12 years old. Colors available include black, navy, royal blue, and scarlet.

What It Will Not Do

This catchers gear is good for children who are new to baseball or softball. However, it has a limited lifespan, because features such as its Velcro straps will only work effectively for a shorter amount of time. It is suitable for players as old as 12. There is no bag that comes with the equipment, so you’ll need to have a bag for carrying and transporting.

Bottom Line – Does It Live Up to Its Promises?

The Wilson EZ Gear Kit is affordable, sturdy catchers gear that is designed to comfortably fit a wide range of younger baseball players and softball players. Available in a number of different attractive colors, it is an excellent starter package for kids who could someday become household names in their chosen sport.

Wilson EZ Catcher’s GearHowever, not everyone who has purchased this has had a positive experience. Some parents and coaches have reported that players have noticed that some of the equipment included can be uncomfortable to wear. Velcro is used instead of metal clips to keep everything in place, which is really good on one hand, but not always ideal as the velcro wears out.

If you’re looking for value for money when it comes to buying a catcher’s set for younger players, this is a good option. However, if your budget allows, there are higher quality alternatives available.
