Chest Protector
 
For all you gear heads:

I am looking for a Riddell Power chest protector or an ORIGINAL West Vest by Wilson. (the model that was said to be just like the power)!!!

I have japanese mizuno masks for trade or am willing to pay there worth.

Since the death of Mr. Carlucci, God rest is soul, I have been forced to find another alternitive.

.

The original West Vest was not by Wilson. Do you want an original West Vest or the first Wilson version?

I am sorry, you are right. I am looking for the first wilson version. NOT the Douglas.

No one? Someone here in the brotherhood has one and I am sure would love to part ways with it!

Good luck on the Power & be wary of fakes. Last one on EBay sold for close to $1k.

I had an original WV (Stolen). The latest version is built as well (Foam won't break down). Have seen a few originals out there, just have to look. Many claim original but are in fact early Douglas production.

Now you're making me cry. :(

I sold mine 12 years ago for what is the baseball equivalent of 3 magic beans, and didn't even get the beanstalk (except, apparently, up the wazoo!). I got a pair of shins that weren't too bad, a Riddell single bar lightweight mask, and a really crappy chest protector in trade for my beautiful Riddell Power. I have been trying to kick myself in the a$$ ever since, but I'm not flexible enough :).

From the looks of his last deal, I'd offer him two balls bags, a used combo hat, and a patent leather belt. You can always bargain up and add a +POS powder blue shirt.

No, I traded it the following season for a new West Vest navy blue mask, which I do still have, but it's in pretty sorry shape.
