I am in my second year of wearing a Vent Mesh version, after 7 years of the Y-Strap version.
I think the Vent Mesh is a great improvement, and I would not want to change back to a strap type of CP.
- Much easier to put on.
- Gives you a nice snug fit, holding the CP in the EXACT same spot the entire game.
- No having to re-adjust the straps from slippage, or body size changes.
- Breaths well enough that you don't get any hotter.
- You can still throw it in the washer.
