Champion Chest Protector

[BigUmp56]

Well, because he's 16 and who knows what he'll want to do next year. I figure it'll be worth the $35.00 even if he tears it up in a couple of years on the small diamond rather than spend $100.00 on a protector he might not use if he doesn't move up.

Tim,

Unless Zach is your size, a 17 inch model may be too long, don't you think? That model is for us full-figured gals.

I could be wrong, however, I believe this is basically Honig's Pro-Elite CP.

Chest Protector for son = $35.00

vs

Broken Clavicle/Sternum/Rib(s)

There are reasons why some equipment costs less. I bought a $40.00 helmet for my granddaughter when my wife bought her a bicycle. Protect those that don't know what real pain is, that's your job, Dad. You can always sell the gear to another.

or...'a penny wise'...

Trust me, this ain't no K-1. The Champion is just like the Pro-Nine offering. It looks like the K-1, but it ain't even close to the quality, and I've seen all three.

For what Tim wants, the Champion will be fine.

Here is the Pro-Nine version -

You can get a hard shell for a few bucks more.

I know a couple of umpires that have this protector and it works well for lower levels of 90 foot.
