Gear? Chest Protector

so i have used a very thin/lightweight chest protector for years. And usually i just umpire 10u so it's not terribly bad. Lately i have been umpiring more Legion and High school games, and the other umpire the other day said im gunna die from a collar bone hit (slightly dramatic).

Well there are 100s of chest protectors. The MLB guys say use West Vest Gold.. but i dont need MLB style (i mean, i guess i DO,, but c'mon).

What do y'all wear and do you have any pros/cons about it? I found the below one, seems fine.. they all "cover the chest" so i dont know what the big differences in them are except for comfort maybe?
