Reviews

"This is the second Wilson Chest Protector that I have purchased. The CP was purchased for my son who is also an umpire. Based upon my initial satisfaction with my original CP I purchased the same model for him. We are both extremely satisfied with the Wilson CPs that we are using. Neither of us use the extended arm guards. I don't know if they add any value or not! That is the only questionable comment that I have, otherwise rating equals 10 of 10!"

"The chest protector was purchased by me for my son who is a college student and umpires baseball from Babe Ruth & High School to American Legion and a few semi-pro games. He has told me that he is very pleased with the chest protector. Except for the semi-pro games I umpire a similar season."

"I thoroughly enjoyed using the chest protector. I found it provided ample cushion for my shoulders, which as a larger guy tend to get hit more often than other umpires I know. I did not use the arm attachments as I focused on younger leagues and it was not necessary. I suggested the protector to several colleagues, one of which I know purchased it. I would highly recommend for youth to high school umpires."
