I'll jump in and agree.
You'll have this protector for YEARS, so don't try to save $50 by cheaping out.
Buy a hard-shell protector, like a WV. The WV Platinum is a good, lightweight hard shelled protector.
Any mask will do (I wear a WV mask, which is quite inexpensive, when I'm not wearing my new helmet). Any shin guards will do the job (I wear $30 Diamond shin guards, even when working college games). But I'd NEVER skimp on the chest protector.
I took a fouled bunt off the collarbone in a high school district final back in '96 while wearing a cheap protector. The next day I ordered a WV.
So, get a good single bar mask (not expensive), any shin guards (not expensive), and a good protector. And also spend the money for plate shoes. A broken toe isn't much fun either.
