Your about the same height and weight as me. (Mabey a little lighter!!!)
Anyway I found a good ALL STAR vest about 7 yrs ago and its great. Its lightweight and does'nt feel like you wearing a suit of armor. It does'nt cost over $100 because some pro ump signed it and it takes a licking and still keeps you ticking.
I paid $60ea and bought 2 of them, then, and Im still using them now.
Unless your gonna do pro ball right away these have worked great. You dont sweat like a pig in the summer and the vest does'nt retain perspiriation because it is a foam with netting. I have officiated games from LL through College and a couple of Semi-pro teams and have been ding several times , but never serious. There is good shoulder an neck protection.
Im not sure if they still sell them, but my point is, there is a lot of equipment out there for sale. Shop around. Just dont buy it because everyone else does.
