this is the best protector i have every had.

I agree with Clint, this is the best, most comfortable CP I've ever had.

I've had the Platinum, Gold and 2 Plus POS CP's and this All American is head and shoulders the best.

Save up a little more dough, and buy pro gear.

Hey all,

I have the V-Sport version of this CP and love it! I have the Pro-Nine and that is the reason I now use the V-Sport.

IMHO, the Pro-Nine is great for shots that hit in the middle of the larger pads or shoulder/collar bone areas, HOWEVER, baseballs that hit in the "break point" areas or on the smaller AND THINNER side pads HURT! Don't consider anything other than a hard shell CP. There are great ones out there for some good prices, you just have to search them out.

I have the V-Sport UPRO-17 and my friend has this one: http://www.smitteez.com/index.php?cr...on=show_detail He has the UPRO-15 and he loves his.

I agree with both of you. I have worn the K1, Power and the Westvest (douglas) and will say that it is slightly better than the Power.

I took a shot last year when I had a Canadian National Team pitcher on the hill the foul caught me right square in the chest as the catcher turned around to see if I was okay, I picked up the ball and tossed in back to the pitcher.

Hey all,

One thing that I do like about the All-American/V-Sport/Champion/ whatever other brand name it is sold under, when compared to the Platinum or Gold is that there are larger size options than 13.5". I am not saying that the platinum and gold are not good, but if you need something longer to adequately protect yourself...
BTW, I had tried on the platinum and found that it was comfortable, but short enough to leave ribs exposed ON ME. The V-Sport I ended up purchasing feels every bit as solid as the platinum, but covers all areas I need covered.
Bottom line, I would get a good hard shell that fits well. If it is not a hard shell, IMHO, it is not an option.

Hey Lou, do you mind if I ask how tall you are? No this isn't a pick up, just trying to figure out if height is a factor in the coverage.
