iN bUMP PrOteCtiON.
In 1997, following extensive customer research, industry pioneers Scott Safety introduced
the original baseball style bump protection solution, First Base. Bump protection evolved again in 2003 with the launch of First Base+ as further research determined the need for improved aesthetics and comfort levels. Today, the new First Base 3 provides unprecedented levels of fit and comfort, taking stability, protection and wearer acceptance to new levels.
At the core of the First Base 3 revolution is the unique, patented shell designs, ergonomically shaped for comfort and protection. The shells are complemented by a range of stylish and durable fabrics to suit any need.
