I've owned both the Gold and the Platinum, not to mention a half dozen or more other chest protectors (confessed gear junkie, in rehab) and I sold the Platinum and still use the Gold for virtually all my umpiring. The Gold is more forward facing at the shoulders, and in my opinion offers better protection for those who use Gerry Davis, box, heel-toe, etc. The Platinum would probably be better optimized for those working scissors stances.
Maybe just due to my specific body size or shape, but the Gold fits me better than the Platinum did. The Gold feels like a custom fit. The Platinum was not a bad protector, but I think the Gold is better.
