DG: I think the original is by Douglas...my mistake. It just seems when I see this model on other websites it is labeled as "original". But in reality, this one and the Douglas one are pretty much the exact same thing.

For those of you who are ordering them, let us how how they turn out. For some reason I want to be skeptical b/c how could they sell such a quality, expensive chest protector at such a cheap price? Also, it has the suggested retail at only $65, while other websites have it as at least $90 and many well over $100. I would order one, but I already have the west vest platinum and I love it (though for some reason I can't get the top to tighten anymore and need it to be a little tighter...I'm not small...about 6'0 190lbs.)

thanks for the advice on the pro-9. Surely there has to be some catch there as well. How can you sell a chest protector that resembles the K1 for about $100 cheaper? The quality surely isn't as good. Also, please give me some leg guard feedback, I don't want to pay $70 or $80 for a pair b/c I already have a good pair, but I'm looking for a pair to wear for youth ball and am willing to spend about $40 (does anybody have an opinion on the itech umpire shins...I believe they are discontinued now). Thanks alot, keep us updated on the west vest on amazon.

Luke
