Wrong Nick, the value of the protector is as a "quality" protector and well made.
"Real" umpires cut bicep pads off of ANY protector.
Bicep protectors are for little girls and guys who wear hockey helment thingies.
Kyle, I guess you have to simply decide what you want in a protector. There is an idiot over on ABUA that claims if you spend over $50 on a chest protector you've been swindled.
Facts as I see them:
If you find a Douglas that is over 7 years old and in good condition, buy it.
If you find a Ridell Power protector, buy it.
If you find a West Vest made by Joe West himself, buy it.
I have a Carlucci. Handmade to fit, life time warranty, and it is "historical" in value.
Other then buying for historical significance a guy should buy a protector that fits his budget and level of ball that is called.
