Hey McCrowder, well I guess I thought this site was for umpires looking for advice and help as well as the occasional comment. But in your case I guess this site is for bashing other people. You could have saved alot of people some time and saved me the effort of responding to this by simply keeping your mouth shut! But if anyone else out there has any suggestions or comments I would greatly appreciate your advice.

Thx Guys

P.S. and by the way daddy is my grammar and punctuation better now I did not mean to offend you I promise I will not do it again

Most people asked what they think about equipment before they buy it. Now that you have already bought the chest protector, go out and use it and see how it works. If it works for you then keep using the equipment, if it doesn't get new stuff.

Panama - We're more than happy to offer advice and answer questions.

But you didn't ask a question (or if you did, it's buried in the unintelligible punctuationless babble). All you did was tell the world that you bought something new --- something most of us here do rather commonly. I ask again - who cares. There seemed to be no point to your post to go along with the fact that it's unreadable.

my .02

I have the BB2000 as well and have had it for a number of years. I am definately happy with the level of protection it provides. The only downside I have found is heat retention and some bulk..(robo-ump). In late July and August, it can be uncomfortable....again, a trade off due to the level of protection....

I have a Honigs K1 I use for lower level ball, which is the best for lightweight protection, but I miss the hard shell confidence. I am trying out a friends Platinum this summer to see if that is the best compromise between light weight, protection and less heat retention........

Best of luck to you.......Im sure this will not be your last gear purchase...
