I owned a V-Sport at one time. I sold it this season to a young umpire
who was working high school ball with a ribbed Diamond protector. Although
the V-Sport has good protection, I don't feel it's nearly as protective as my
West Vest Gold. The biggest differences are the thickness of the padding,
and the length of your model.
