I am withholding my judgement until it has been used for a longer period of time. It would be nice if it lives up to its advertisement.

Maybe it would work for indoor play that really does use a soft ball - but I don't use any chest protector for those games. I do not see ample protection for some high school ball, let alone college, and forget about it for the men's game.
