Since I bought it - 3 seasons of Mens FP, American Legion BB, and Fast Pitch in general - I've never felt a shot through my west vest. Its a suit of armor. Hot at times - but I dont believe there is better protection. You take a hit .. and because of the sound, people think you've been shot and are waiting for your reaction, but you didnt even feel it. Its great.
