However, this is not the same Champion model as the one on ebay (the P220). The one on ebay is the real deal, a hard shell model that is comparable to the V-Sport and the All-American hard shell models.

I use a Champion (the old V-Sport type). I don't know if it's the 220 you are asking about. I'd have to look at it.

I love it. I've taken several shots and don't feel a thing. Great collar bone protection. And the shoulder pads are set high enough to protect the point of your shoulder. It's comparable to the WV Gold/Platinum in my opinion, as far as protection is concerned.

Awesome CP and can be had for $60 or less on ebay.

Edit to add - yeah, it's the p210 that I have - 15" model. Got it on ebay from instant replay sports (highly recommended)

The P200 series are all virtually identical, with the P220 being 13" long, the P210 15" and the P200 17". They're all "the real deal", identical in design and style except for the difference in length.

Even the Instant Replay guy selling these on eBay seems to have the model numbers mixed up. He refers to the 13" version as both the P220 and P200 in the same auction.

Here is the very best picture available of all six (not counting the really crappy ones on the previous page) Champion chest protectors. Three hard shells and three K-1 style:

Yeah, that's how I got mixed up!

Yep, I've got the 210 - 15". Swapped from a 17" V-sport thatwas just too long.

Worth every penny - and you don't need a lot of 'em.
