The difference between these CP's?
I need to retire my fifteen year old +POS protector and am looking. A lot of guys in my association have the K1 from Honigs and recommend it. However, I've found two other CP's that look exactly the same for a lot less money and am wondering if any of you know of any differences. To be honest it looks like they are the same and simply rebadged. I called Honigs and they claim the other two are knock offs. Anyway, here are the links:

sort of a tangent, but in looking at the Honig's offerings....
who cares what color your CP is if its under a shirt? |
I have seen the Pro-Nine CP up close and it is no where near the quality of the K-1. The Champion is the same as the Pro-Nine, a cheap knock-off.
I have a K-1 and would not use anything else. Get the K-1 and you will never regret it. |

I suppose you could buy several K-1s and mix and match with your outfit!:p |

Anyone know anything about the "Gerry Davis Chest Protector?" I'm on an extremely tight budget & I've got it down to the GD & the V-Sport from Lesters. I'm a VERY big guy (300+ lb, 62" Shoulders, 22" Neck) & I need a BIG protector! I just got put on the list for college subbing for the rest of the year so I need something pretty good but yet under $100 w/ shipping. I know several will say step up & get the Platinum or something like it but the $$$ just isn't in the budget right now. :(
Thanks! |
Get the best you can afford
I've worn the Platinum for a couple of years now and I'm very happy with it. If I was shopping for a new one today I'd consider the Jerry Davis of Honigs protectors. I understand that price does weigh into your decision but why skimp when considering your personal safety. A broken collar bone or rib will surely cost more than the money saved on a cheaper protector.

If you saw it on TV, it must be true...

The v-sport would do just as well at preventing broken bones, it just wouldn't have that "I'm a big time umpire" look. If you are getting hit that often with baseballs, either your mechanics suck, or the catcher's mechanics suck. Either way, it's fixable without putting out $200 on a bigger logo. |
