I used to use "The Ump" and was very satisfied with it until I took a foul off the top of my shoulder in a men's major game. I felt that shot a lot more than I wanted to. I went with the Pro-9 last year and have been very satisfied with it. I like the hard plastic cap/shell/whatever over the shoulders and collar bone areas. It is light, the vast majority is hard foam. I now wear this protector exclusively.
And as those who sweat like I do should do with their chest protectors, I use Fabreeze after every game. It eliminates the smell.
