I just purchased a used pair of the Wilsons and I love them. Wore them in a college fall ball game, took a nice skipped fastball off of them, and it rebounded down halfway to third. Never felt a thing, and if the Wilson chest protectors are similar, count me in to buying one of those.
As far as the Velcro situation. My come apart easily at the knee, and have heard that same reply from others, but it's when they aren't on and in use. I think I'm going to try and replace the Velcro "hooks" with some thing industrial strength, or find a way to bond them. My temparary fix, sit in a chair when putting them on.
