I use the K2 and pretty much agree with the others who do also.
Good protection in the collarbone/shoulders, good down the sternum, not so good to the left and right of the chest.
I have a good amount of "natural" padding in the stomach area, so any ball that hits there stings for a few minutes, but no major damage.
Two reasons I chose this protector.
1. I umpire in Phoenix, it's hotter than h*ll here in the summer, this protector is not as bulky as some.
2. Since I don't do much rec league any more, I find that I am not hit as much due to the ineffectiveness of the catcher. This protector is just fine for the levels of ball that I work.
