Kevin Finnerty GOOD LORD!!!! $159.00!!!! Don't joke around with the human heart. At that price, get a Wilson Gold! It can't really be topped. I've tried most of them, and it's the best. And you can get a new one for between $140 and $160.
waltjp I agree with Kevin in principle, though I'd also suggest taking a look at the Wilson Platinum. Both the Platinum and Gold provide excellent protection and the cost is about the same. It really comes down to a matter of fit.
tjones1 Agreed. You can get a Gold or Platinum from Jim Kirk at Ump-attire.com for a little less. Can't go wrong with either of these products. Umpire Chest Protectors: Wilson, Diamond and Pro Nine: Ump Attire
SanDiegoSteve The All-Star CPU28PRO is better protection, even though it doesn't have a zipper front: For those of us who don't like (or are boycotting) West Vests!😉

That reminds me...when I questioned the guy at +POS about the $142 price tag on the high top plate shoes, he responded that he can't compete with the lower prices of all the foreign-made plate shoes like NB and Reebok, as their stuff is USA made.

SanDiegoSteve BigUmp56 wroteI personally think that the V-Sport you sent me is a better protector than the WV Gold or the All-Star. Tim. You may be right, Tim. I took a few hard shots off the chest that rebounded half way to the mound and never felt a thing. I think I'm still going to go with the new CPU30 from All-Star. It's pretty sweet.
