I know a guy who works FP (HS and ASA) who does not don a chest protector, but recently added a throat guard to his mask. Strange, eh?

I took a shot today in 18G so hard in the collar bone area .... I'm really not sure how umpires do it with the light weight protectors, let alone with out one at all.
I dont think Im ever giving up my west vest. I start wanting a smaller lighter one, then something like that hits me and I'm all cured.

I wear a lacrosse chestprotector and I have had no problems with taking pitches off it... and the crappy catchers down here ... if you arent wearing a chest protector you must be asking ASA or PONY to be paying for your hospital trips. Back in the day I knew a guy in Baseball that was working 12 u AAU ball without one he got hit in the chest and his heart stopped. Luckily he was revived by the ambulance the tournement was requiring to be on site.
