If you have not looked at or have heard about the Gerry Davis PR1266, it is the best fitting and coolest protector I have ever used. Had a West Vest for about 10 years and it protected me well but as noted it was hot and here in Texas it does get hot. The Gerry Davis is made by Itech the people who make Hockey equipment and it will take a shot I work HS, JUCO, Div II and some Div I, it does take some getting used to because it is so light weight and form fitting, but I will wear nothing else now. And the price can't be beat at $69.90 ordered from the website
