Equipment Opinions

I'll agree with Dave, too.

I own a Douglas "West Vest", the original model designed by Joe West before he moved to Wilson, the GD Itech, and a new West Vest Gold.

I use the GD for 13/14 year olds and the WV Gold for everything beyond.

From what I've seen of the Platinum, it would be a better fit for those using the scissors stance. The Gold, in my opinion gives better protection for those using any variation of a box stance.
