This year, I bought the Honig's K2 "shorty" protector designed for softball use. It provides very good protection of the upper chest bones, marginal protection (my opinion) of the heart area, and no protection below the sternum.
I like it OK, but I feel a little vulnerable.

I got a K2 this year and feel the same way. Extremely lightweight and great for working the younger kids but I simply don't feel the same security (when working the older kids) as I do with a full protector. I recently bought the CPU from Pro Nine and love it. It is nearly the same as the Honig's K1 but costs way less (I paid $50 through a distributor link on the Pro Nine site). Check out Pro Nine at
http://www.pronine.com (Click on Umpires Protective).
So now I use the K2 for 10U and the CPU for everything else.
