The removable forehead pad can be hand-washed with mild soap and water, then air-dried completely. Wipe down the helmet shell and Hyperlite mask with a damp cloth. For the chest protector and leg guards, spot-clean with mild soap and water - never machine wash or submerge. The Biodri liner works best when kept clean and dry between uses. Store gear in a ventilated area, not in enclosed bags where moisture can't escape.\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}\n\u003c\/script\u003e \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"BreadcrumbList\",\n  \"itemListElement\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"ListItem\",\n      \"position\": 1,\n      \"name\": \"Home\",\n      \"item\": \"https:\/\/smashitsports.com\/\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"ListItem\",\n      \"position\": 2,\n      \"name\": \"Baseball Gear\",\n      \"item\": \"https:\/\/smashitsports.com\/collections\/baseball-gear\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"ListItem\",\n      \"position\": 3,\n      \"name\": \"Baseball Catchers Gear\",\n      \"item\": \"https:\/\/smashitsports.com\/collections\/baseball-catchers-gear\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"ListItem\",\n      \"position\": 4,\n      \"name\": \"Easton MAV X Intermediate Catcher's Gear Box Set\",\n      \"item\": \"https:\/\/smashitsports.com\/products\/easton-mav-x-catchers-box-set-intermediate-multiple-colors\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n\u003c\/script\u003e \u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"ItemList\",\n  \"itemListElement\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Product\",\n      \"position\": 1,\n      \"name\": \"MAV X Intermediate Catcher's Helmet\",\n      \"description\": \"Large 7 1\/8 - 7 1\/2 hat size with Hyperlite alloy mask and Biodri liner for ages 13-15\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Product\",\n      \"position\": 2,\n      \"name\": \"MAV X Intermediate Chest Protector\",\n      \"description\": \"16 inch intermediate chest protector with Locked-In harness and NOCSAE Commotio Cordis certification\"\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Product\",\n      \"position\": 3,\n      \"name\": \"MAV X Intermediate Leg Guards\",\n      \"description\": \"15.5 inch intermediate leg guards with Multi-Hinge Pro system and gel-infused padding\"\n    }\n  ]\n}\n\u003c\/script\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smash It Sports","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":62483016548723,"sku":"MAVXKITM-BK-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cardinal","offer_id":62483016581491,"sku":"MAVXKITM-CD-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Green","offer_id":62483016614259,"sku":"MAVXKITM-DG-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy","offer_id":62483016647027,"sku":"MAVXKITM-NY-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Maroon","offer_id":62483016679795,"sku":"MAVXKITM-MA-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Purple","offer_id":62483016712563,"sku":"MAVXKITM-PU-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Royal","offer_id":62483016745331,"sku":"MAVXKITM-RY-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":62483016778099,"sku":"MAVXKITM-RD-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":62483016810867,"sku":"MAVXKITM-WH-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":62483016843635,"sku":"MAVXKITM-AO-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"USA","offer_id":62483016876403,"sku":"MAVXKITM-US-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":62483016909171,"sku":"MAVXKITM-LY-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy\/Red","offer_id":62483016941939,"sku":"MAVXKITM-NYRD-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Gold","offer_id":62483016974707,"sku":"MAVXKITM-BKLG-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black\/Red","offer_id":62483017007475,"sku":"MAVXKITM-BKRD-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tan\/Army Camo","offer_id":62483017040243,"sku":"MAVXKITM-TNAC-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Columbia Blue\/Navy","offer_id":62483017073011,"sku":"MAVXKITM-CBNY-M","price":449.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/5766\/8405\/files\/EastonMavXCatcher_sBoxSet_MultipleColors_12.jpg?v=1769443529"},{"product_id":"easton-mav-x-catchers-box-set-youth-multiple-colors","title":"Easton Mav X Catcher's Box Set - Youth (Multiple Colors)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description-content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- Main Product Description --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-intro\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControl the game behind the plate with the \u003cstrong\u003eEaston MAV X Youth Catcher's Gear Box Set\u003c\/strong\u003e, available in multiple colors to match your team's style.
