I understand the desire use something light in hotter weather. I'm in SOCAL so I feel your pain. I have a K2 but I only use it for 10U because it doesn't gives me enough protection for my ribs. I use the ProNine protector for older kids but as great as it is it gets really hot under it sometimes. I was hoping that the hex pad shirt might give enough rib protection to allow me to use it with my K2 when I do 12U/14U. I'd like to hear some feedback too before I shell out that kind of money for it.
