I use the BB2000 and have used it for 3 seasons now. I work in a league with a number of former Major League and Minor League pitchers. I have taken some serious shots and never felt a thing. I feel like Superman taking bullets off my chest with that thing. I am puzzled by your story.

The only complaint I have with the Umpire Armor is it's hot. That only becomes a problem up here in New England during the heat of the Summer. In high school ball it actually keeps me nice and toasty on those early Spring days.
