I ump in the Houston area where it is hot and muggy till winter, which is usually about the 3rd week of January. After using several different chest protectors, I bought a K2 last summer. It offers less overall protection than most other protectors. But it protects the sternum and shoulder areas, while being extremely lightweight. It fits more comfortably than the others I have had. When the game is over, and I take it off, i'm not covered with sweat under the chest protector. You still sweat a lot, because of the weather here, but you don"t sweat because of the chest protector. My previous favorite chest protector was a Pos-Plus (B203 I think). It had a very comfortable fit, but I would perspire quite a bit under the gear. My undershirt would be soaked after a game. If i umped further north, I would probably carry both the K2 and Pos-Plus.
