Such a difference. So comfortable. Easy to install, clips already attached, no more tape. HIGHLY recommend.

You can tell the difference between the default harness and this upgrade. A must-have.

Great job Wilson! Developing a harness to replace those on the West Vest Gold and West Vest Platinum chest protectors was well needed. This harness works well and will help one upgrade his/her chest protector for a much better fit.

West Vest Chest Protector straps were bunched up and lost elasticity. This replacement made it feel brand new and was easy to replace. Chest Protector fits nice with very little movement!

This is an excellent replacement for any 4-point chest protector. The harness has long enough straps for us bigger guys (48" chest) and comes with the T-hooks and sliders already attached! With this harness, you can quickly make almost any chest protector fit much better in only five minutes time!

I love this umpire chest protector harness! I have the Wilson West Vest Gold. I've have had it for nine years. I was having thoughts of getting a new chest protector and was going to try replacing the harness first before I bought a new chest protector. It feels like a whole new chest protector! 100% worth it.

I use this on my Wilson West Vest Gold umpire chest protector and the fit and finish are fantastic. Perfectly designed upgrade. You can not get a close, tight, comfortable, custom fit of your chest protector without this upgrade. Game changer.

Excellent!! Put your chest protector replacement harness on, strap in and put your shirt on. The next time you think about your chest protector will be when you are taking it off!! My only question is why doesn't Wilson provide this harness when purchasing the chest protector! The harness in itself is a great buy and I recommend it highly.

The best add on to your Wilson umpire chest protector! I went from having to adjust my chest protector after almost every pitch to never touching it from the first pitch to the last. The straps are plenty long in all directions to accommodate all sizes.

This works perfectly with my Champion Body Armor hard shell chest protector. I was constantly having to adjust after only a few pitches. This harness went on easy, and once adjusted stays exactly where I want it. So if you have a Champion or Wilson chest protector, I highly recommend.

I ordered this to replace the well-worn straps on my long-serving Wilson Gold West Vest. Easy to swap out, and I now have a much tighter and more comfortable fit. I'd recommend this to anyone still using the old style strap system on these protectors.

Really impressed again with Ump-Attire.com. I have a competitor in town and I still order from Ump-Attire.com often because the service is great. I've had my West Vest Gold Umpire Chest Protector for a long time and over time the buckles and straps wore out. I ordered this to replace it and it is very comfortable and a way better set up than the original strap system. I highly recommend it.

After a few years my original Wilson harness lost its tension, so I purchased this replacement harness. It installed easily, and works perfectly. My chest protector fits snugly again, which makes me feel much safer. 10/10.

Excellent service and product arrived over the holidays so it was like a present to myself...lol! The harness looks and feels great but field testing isn't likely to be anytime soon, as this is snow season here. I'm sure l won't be disappointed. Got this at an excellent price even with the exchange and shipping. Two thumbs up for Ump-Attire.com and their amazing staff!

I had the All-Star harness on it before this one, which was great, but this replacement harness is a step above by far! Rather than the nylon straps by your head, it is heavy duty elastic, which gives when you're taking it off. No more hurt ears! It holds the Chest Protector tight during games and is very comfortable! Your umpire buddies will soon be getting this harness too!

This product is long overdue and should be made available in other countries as postage from the USA is prohibitive. Lives up to its hype. Provides firm but comfortable support to my chest protector keeping it in position whether I'm squatting behind the plate to call a pitch or scrambling to make a call at third base. Only need to adjust once or twice in 90 minute softball games.

It's great to see that after all these years Wilson is finally offering upgrades to the West Vest. It only takes a couple of minutes to remove the old harness and install the new harness. The harness holds the protector close to your body comfortably. The T-clips are painted black, keeping the clips from corroding and showing through your shirt. Now if Wilson would introduce updated replacement chest protector padding.....

Finally Wilson admits they have major flaws with platinum cheap harness by bringing replacement on market. Hope they put this harness on product from now on. Great harness, easy to put on and adjust. Now i'll be more than comfortable when wearing my platinum chest protector.

Only used this twice since I got it and what a difference. The original strap that came with my protector kept on rolling up in the back and made it uncomfortable. Glad am I purchased this. Much more comfortable.

Can only echo what others have said. A great investment - simple and easy to add to a 4 year old Wilson Platinum chest protector and upgrades the fit/comfort significantly.

The best yet! Worth the purchase as it not only fits the Wilson line with no alterations are necessary, but it contains the same stretch fabric on the shoulder straps as is found on the lower abdomen. This sets it apart from the Force3 and All-Star Delta flex. IMO is the best aftermarket harness!

I just recently purchased this harness for my West Vest and it's incredibly comfortable. I did have to initially adjust it a number of times to get it right due to the neoprene material and how much give it has. I highly recommend this for your chest protector.

Q:
Can the harness be used on the new Force 3 Chest Protector? Being on the slim side, the Force 3 is cut more for the larger official. Wondering if this harness is an upgrade from what is already on the Force 3 Chest Protector? – Anthony Nunziato
A:
Great question Anthony! This Wilson Premium Umpire Chest Protector Replacement Harness will fit the Force3 V3 Ultimate Umpire Chest Protector. You must switch the Wilson Replacement Harness T-Hooks with the 3-prong clips from your Force3 V3 Protector Harness. Both the Force3 and Wilson Premium harness' offer great support and comfort, though they are slightly different from each other. With free returns for those in the contiguous United States, there is no risk of purchasing this harness to see if it works better for you.
