The Riddell sold for over $400, eh. Hmm, might be time to put mine on the market.

I've owned one for a few years. I used to whip it out when working with umpires who would recognize it's collector item status and be impressed.

I do not think it's as protective or more protective than the West Vest Gold, though. I have never taken a shot I've felt wearing the Gold, whereas I have taken a shot to dead center chest wearing the Riddell that, while not posing any particular problem, definitely had some sting to it. The Riddell's padding is a skotch thinner than the West Vest, and the result is as one would expect.
