Hey Guys ...
I just purchased the new 'platinum' model of the WV for about $160. It's terrific, even better than the Douglas that I've worn out since '95. With the newer models you don't have to mess with the velcro, repositioning etc. Everything is pretty much locked into position. The platinum, I feel, offers better protection under the throat as well as accross the shoulders. I'm feeling very well protected behind the plate, don't even think about taking a missed caught ball or a foul tip. I recommend the 'platinum' highly. "hit me with your best shot!"
