Wilson MLB West Vest Gold Umpire Chest Protector

Great protector. Extremely comfortable and won’t use anything else.

The Wilson West West Gold is a very well-made product. The fit and coverage it offers is also excellent. I took a shot from a tipped ball on my left shoulder during my first game this year and felt nothing. I gave this product a 4 star rating only because it did not come with the premium harness otherwise, highly recommended.

It’s everything I thought it would be. Great protector and a good investment.

Well worth the investment. First game this season of high school ball, pitcher mid 80's and a foul tip to the chest and no problem at all. Not bulky at all and comfortable.

Can't believe I didn't buy this bad boy sooner. Great fit, comfortable and shots off it barely feel.

Nice protector, good protection. Not too heavy but a little bulky.

I took a hard hit to upper chest with a protector that lacked the hard shell and felt it for weeks. Immediately ordered this protector as a replacement and have been super satisfied. It fits well and gives me the protection and confidence I need behind the plate. I recommend this chest protector without hesitation.

Read all about this chest protector, been wearing it for 4 years now no problems. I have taken a few hits but nothing that any other high quality chest protectors couldn't take. Until last night, pitcher/catcher mix up..."pow!", right on the shoulder. I felt the impact and a sharp sting. Nothing broken, this morning a little soreness but nothing else. I would strongly recommend this chest protector just from my experience last night...saved me from a sure injury.

I was nervous when I first tried it on under a shirt that it would be too bulky around the shoulders. After working a few innings I got used to it. I have used it all season taken both balls and bats off of it with no problems. It is lightweight and comfortable. I took the hard plastic piece off of the pec pads and tuck them under main pad. The noise it make after a shot alarms the coaches, and I am able laugh it off. In one season, I have only had one ball off of the unprotected stomach and that was due to a ball in the dirt. Highly recommend.

I just have the feeling of being secure and protected with this on, when a ball hits it you only hear the sound and feel anything. Upgraded to this due to being hit on the shoulders and collarbone and it not feeling so great, and I found what I was looking for. I’m 6’4” and 250lbs, and it fits my big frame perfect. Also came with the upgraded harness and it’s a great touch! Thanks Ump Attire.com!!

I'm happy overall with it. The Platinum contoured to my body a little faster. I love the pec pads and the protector covers the collar bones/shoulders very well! Very sleek with the plate coat!

My experience is consistent with the guidance I received from Ump-Attire.com and the online reviews, and Q & A. My main concerns were the best collar bone protection available, and do I purchase the Gold or the Platinum? My left collar bone was broken by a foul ball in 2012, and recently I took a foul ball on my old chest protector in the exact same spot where the bone healed. It was very painful, but luckily not broken this time. I feel very confident with the protection provided by my Wilson Gold West Vest. Collar bone coverage is maximized with 1 inch padding covered with the hard shell and a strap adjustment system that minimizes sagging. The Wilson Gold is best for me as I need front protection, as I use the scissors stance, and don't crouch that much. The price is worth paying compared to the less costly, inferior models, and a bargain compared to the cost of comparable models.

I just purchased the Wilson West Vest for my son who highly recommends this. This is a replacement for his Champion Sport P200 chest protector and he loves the coverage and protection this gear offers. He has taken foul balls and wild pitches to it and has hardly felt anything. It did take some adjusting to get it to fit correctly but he raves about the flexibility once set. He wore it during record heat and didn't overheat at all. If you quality then buy this protector.

Just received my second Wilson West Vest Gold, the old one has lasted 11 years. With the Wilson Premium Replacement Harness, this new one fits snug and more comfortable. I won't wear any other chest protector.

Works great. Comfortable.

I don't hate this umpire chest protector. I've worn it for 4 seasons and it protects way better than the Diamond iX3 I had previously, but it is far from perfect. Little thought was made to it staying in place on your chest, and zero thought was given to breathability. It is basically a couch cushion with hard plastic plates. It is protective, for sure. But if you call a full slate in the summer, get something more comfortable.

This is a great chest protector. I have wanted one for years as many have recommended it. Now after using it the past couple of months I can recommend it myself. I tried 2 sizes and returned one with no problem. The price is about $30-40 less than other retailers. Highly recommend the vest and Ump-Attire.com.

Feel very protected in this even with the shorter size. Took a hard foul ball yesterday in a varsity game and barely noticed it. The bonus harness is a game changer.

I have used this for about 100 games already. Very comfortable and light weight, way better than my old one I used 20 years. However, the protection for the stomach area could be better if it was 3-5 inches longer; but I would recommend it.

This product is amazing. Did not feel any of the 13 major balls off my chest at all. Took one off the collar bone and didn’t notice. The upgraded strap that it comes with during the sale is so comfy.

First time High School umpire and this has already kept me in the game.

Fit is very snug and comfortable. I know I'm well protected.

This chest protector is great. Lightweight and easy to put on. Also, very sturdy and comfortable.

The best umpire chest protector on the market. Great protection and very comfortable.

What can I say? There is a reason this one is the best known. I moved up to high school level umpiring and bought this because I could feel fouls through my old one pretty badly with a younger age group. I umpired two high school games today, one behind the plate. I took an 80 mph fastball straight to the chest protector, completely untouched by the catcher, and didn't even flinch. If you're like me and started at lower-level baseball, you'll end up buying this when you move up anyway so you should just start with it.

I have been using the West Vest chest protector for years. I really can't remember where I bought my first one. I have taken foul balls off the chest off my shoulder many times. You know you have been hit but it really nullifies the pain, because there is really no pain but you know you got hit (well maybe a little discomfort). I would recommend the Gold West Vest to anyone that is in umpiring for the long haul.

I have had the low end Wilson West Vest for the past 10 years and it has seemed to be protecting me just fine...until it didn’t. Recently purchased the Gold due to a collarbone strike that I didn’t realize was exposed. The Wilson West Vest Gold is extremely lightweight and I am surprised at how little it moves once adjusted correctly. Feel much more protected now!

I finally have a chest protector that fits. First game, fastball crossed up the catcher and I got hit square in the protector and didn't feel a thing! Thank you Wilson West Vest!

I'd been looking to make an upgrade for a while and came to this guy. So far I really love it. It protects previously exposed areas. I'll likely upgrade the harness though.

This is a great umpire chest protector. It fits super well and has a ton of padding. There are only two things wrong with it. There is a plastic piece that connects the back straps which is a little uncomfortable and I wish it sat higher on your shoulders. Other than that it's a great piece.

Very comfortable when fitted properly, looks good, and best of all, you don't feel a thing when you get hit. The pad under the shoulders tends to pop out a little, which looks off if you don't push it back in, but it is hardly an issue to me.

This is my first chest protector for umpiring. Great protection! Biggest negative for me are the small flaps just beneath shoulders. They move too much, don't lay comfortably, and work themselves in front of shoulder pads. Maybe it's just the fit. With the collar high enough to protect collar bones, the tabs don't wrap slightly under armpit (which I'm assuming it should).

Purchased the Wilson MLB West Vest Gold Umpire chest protector after seeing a partner go down wearing a soft-shell chest protector. Was going to wait until next season to buy but decided to purchase while it was on sale. First time wearing it, took a shoot to the left shoulder and the foul ball bounced 20 feet away, and never felt a thing. So far a worth while investment.

Replaced an old umpire chest protector with the Wilson West Vest. Very light and stays in place really well. Great protection everywhere needed. A little bulky but still the best chest protector I've ever owned.

Very nice umpire chest protector. It was my first hard-shell and so far I am very impressed. Only thing I wish they would improve is the extra coverage needed on rib or mid section and arm guards, but other than that its great!

I bought my first WV Gold in 1992. I just replaced it with a new one. I assign 90 plus officials from college to youth ball, and see many products and many injuries. It is lightweight, comfortable and gives you the confidence you will not get injured. I have never witnessed an injury wearing the Gold. Top of the line, bar none!

Best chest protector on the market. Great fit and lightweight. Took a shot straight to the chest and didn't feel a thing! I would recommend to anyone at any level.

I got my new West Vest Gold a few weeks ago and absolutely love it. Have taken several shots off and felt nothing. The only negative thing I can say and maybe over time it will fix itself is the pads that are below my shoulders do not stay under and seem to pop forward. That might just be something I will need to get used to. But with all that said, I would HIGHLY recommend getting this chest protector. You will LOVE it.

100 mph ball fouled off the bat straight to my chest didn't feel a thing thanks to my Wilson Gold Umpire chest protector. The cushion is thick but comfortable with the hard shell making it one of the best chest protectors on the market. I stand at 5'11, 225lbs and the L-XL fits me perfectly. I use to shop with other dealers but right now when it comes to umpire equipment...Ump-Attire.com.

Absolutely love this! I was going in blind when I ordered this. Purchasing for my son, and I had no idea how to buy one of these things.

Simply put, I feel safer than ever behind the plate now that I have my Wilson West Vest Gold chest protector. I have taken two hard shots since purchasing my West Vest, One to the shoulder and the other dead center! I didn't feel a thing! I will never wear a different chest protector! I highly recommend you purchase your own West Vest!

I work high school ball and have been hit a lot and haven't felt a thing. Better than the hand me down I got from a guy who retired (very grateful for that one) but very happy with this. Only gripe I have is it doesn't get tight enough for me, I guess I would like it to sit higher on me. I have to fidget with it somewhat throughout the game, but over all its great.

Very comfortable and professional looking chest protector. Protects you very well.

Needed a new chest protector, used to wear All American that I bought at the NCAA baseball in Chicago 17 years ago so I decided to try Wilson Gold, only been hit once so far this season.

Great umpire chest protector. Been using it for 2 weeks. Finally took one off the chest this weekend. It was loud and both coaches came over to see if I was okay. I didn't feel a thing.

This was the best fitting Wilson Chest Protector for me and is very comfortable. I upgraded the harness and that made a big difference. Plenty of protection and not too bulky.

This Product is amazing. Took a hit first day I got it right off the shoulder and didn't feel a thing. MLB quality and very sturdy. Sizing was right and does come short but when you squat down it does lower. Can't say anything negative. 100% satisfied and recommended.

Of all the chest protectors, this is the one that I loved the most. Super protected and professional, low profile.

I had the Diamond iX3 Umpire Chest Protector and upgraded to the West Vest Gold. 1st time out took one right in the middle of the chest and didn't feel a thing. A little less protection in my mid section than what I was used to but wouldn't trade the West Vest in for anything. LOVE IT and it's light and breathable, which is nice in the heat and humidity of Missouri summer weather.

Upgraded to this Wilson West Vest Gold after lots of research. The ratings from other users were spot-on. Solid and comfortable and easy to adjust. I did replace the harness, as suggested by other users. Great purchase!

The best chest protector for high level ball hands down. Excellent service from Ump-Attire.com and quick shipping.

Great product. Excellent protection. Good fit. I recommend!

Purchased this to replace my aging CP. Great coverage. Light weight. Strong recommendation to my fellow blue!

Bought the gold vest and have used it about 6 times and love it. It fits well and is comfortable.

Was a little worried about the potential bulkiness of this chest protector over the All Star System 7 that I have been using the past few years, but once I had it on and formed over my shoulders this was no longer a concern. For protection I have already taken a couple of hits in college games and it performed to the standards that I expect out of a high end chest protector. Spend the money and get the protection you deserve!

Greatest protection. I have owned 4 other vests over umpire career. The WV Gold takes all the hits. Don't waste your money on cheaper protection. Always look for MLB logo when buying gear.

Had the Charcoal for years but needed to upgrade. Looks great and feels great. I really appreciate how much easier it is to move in this protector. The shoulder pads are large but I have a lot of range of motion so I can throw a ball just fine. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the sizing. I'm 5'7". The S/M protector barely covers my bottom rib. I'm considering upsizing, but don't want to end up with something bulky. Overall, I'm happy.

I bought the Platinum along with this to see which was better (because I know that Ump-Attire.com has such a great return policy) and I was pleased with the slight extra padding on the Gold. This hugs around the curve on my ribs better than the Platinum. Only reason I took off a half star is due to hard padding around my neck (which should soften up with time) and the foam and plastic "wings" on the side which are fine once you decide if you want to wear them under the shoulder or in front.

I've owned the original WV, and the Gold is great! I replaced the harness with a Force3, and the fit is perfect..sleek and low profile looking! Took a hit to the chest, and my Wilson "W" got smudged, but I consider that a war wound...didn't feel a thing! I'm 6'3" and purchased the 12 inch. Fits great!!

This is a great chest protector. It is lightweight and breaths okay. My only complaint is that there should be a 15 in size made. I ended up putting a 4-inch pad on mine to make it a 17 inch to fully protect the ribs. All in all a great chest protector.

Love it. Lightweight and very comfortable. Nice protection!! Thank you for a superior product!

Wanted to upgrade my chest protector and several crew members recommended the Wilson West Vest Gold. Very comfortable fit! Took a shot and didn't feel a thing. Don't think I'll be going back to any other chest protector.

Fits perfectly. Cannot wait for the season to start so I can use it. Cannot go wrong with this umpire chest protector.

Since the West Vest first hit the market it has been, IMO, the Gold standard for umpire protection. Lightweight and durable. I wouldn't want to use anything else.

Was looking to upgrade my umpire chest protector as I had still using the original one I bought. I read all the reviews and continued coming back to this Wilson West Vest Gold. The protector conforms to your chest and is very easy to adjust the straps. I was a little apprehensive about this product because I'm a tall guy (6'4") and continued to read online that it wasn't particularly practical for taller guys. That has not been an issue and I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to upgrade.

The initial feeling of confidence from this chest protector was somewhat surprising as the sense of safety was instantaneous. I am doing fall baseball 14u and foul balls off the shoulder also the chest have only reinforced that feeling. West Vest gold is gold.

Comfortable and lightweight. Needs bicep guards.

Very good protector for doing 13-14yr up and legion or high school ball. Ump-Attire.com is easy to do business with!

The most efficient and effective chest protector I have ever used. I will never use another style or brand. After taking a 90 mph fast ball off an inside fast ball that was fouled off and feeling nothing made me a true believer.

Very comfortable to wear. Lightweight. Worth the price I paid.

Great little piece of hardware. Cool, comfortable, protects very well but not too bulky. Snowden Grove Umpire Family!

Still the best vest on the market. I have used the same model for years and recently purchased a new one when my old one was 'lifted' from my car as the result of a break in. Take time to adjust this vest correctly and ensure the straps are tight. Adjust it so it sits above your collar bone and tighten the straps accordingly. You will find it will not move. At all. I believe the reason why this vest remains #1 is a testament to the perfect fit it provides, once properly adjusted, combined with the great protective features it incorporates. As a result, many have tried to mimic it however, the design itself has really never been altered as it was designed correctly the very first time. If you are serious about umpiring at a competitive level, make the investment.

This is my first umpire chest protector and I bought it last year 2016 for my first season of high school and adult league baseball. I took some serious shots from 80 to 94 mph and I didn't get hurt. The chest protector does slide up and down and because of that I was hit in my lower throat and shoulder so I'd say just get a good harness. I'm a big guy 6.1" 275lbs and I'm protected pretty good. I do wish it was a bit longer because my belly is exposed but it's all good. It is a bit bulky but safety is the key and I'm able to move around the field just fine. I battle tested this chest protector and I give it double thumbs up!!

Upgraded to the West Vest Gold after two seasons with the Champro hard shell chest protector and I'm more than happy. I was concerned that the side rib pads would get in the way (like the Champro always having to be adjusted) but they didn't move. No wonder this is so well-loved, I should have bought it to begin with. I knew the harness was questionable from prior reviews so I bought an alternative harness and the chest protector never moved during 27 innings of plate work yesterday. Couldn't be happier.

First time using this chest protector was on March 18, 2017 for my opening season of baseball at my park. This is a very good product, lightweight, and very comfortable to wear. I had a few foul pitches that bounced right off, but no issues of protection whatsoever. This replaced an old thin protector that I had been using for many years, and this upgrade was long overdue. It is very easy to wear, no problems putting on my umpire shirt. You can actually breathe comfortably with no problems, and the protection on the inside and out is well worth the money I spent on this product. While the length may be smaller going down towards the bottom of my stomach, that area very seldom has baseballs or wild pitches affecting that part of my body. This area of coverage with this protector is where I always get hit by wild pitches and foul balls. This was a great investment and after my first day on the field, I knew I made the right decision to buy this product.

If you want the broad shoulder look with great protection, this is for you. I am 6' 190lbs and I purchased the medium. I feel like I might have been okay with a small. The bottom hits me between my sternum and belly button. Adjustable straps give you ample wiggle room for a tighter or looser fit. I did lose some mobility compared to the Champro Chest Protector I was previously using, however this issue could possibly go away the more it gets broken in. Well worth the expense.

Very bulky Chest Protector. Hard to fit my shirt over. I am sure it is a great CP but it makes me look like a line backer. I'm going to try to go with something a little more sleek.

Love the WV Gold Chest Protector! After taking a 60 mph (LL) fastball straight off my shoulder using a 'soft' CP, I decided to purchase a hard plate. I went back and forth between the Gold and Platinum version and couldn't be happier with my Gold choice. Already took one off the shoulder and didn't feel it at all. I even had an email exchange with Joe West himself regarding the addition of bicep pads to this CP (I am prone to getting hit anywhere there's not protection, so I opted to add some extra 'coverage' for my arm). All in all, a great product and highly recommended!

Top notch. Have taken many balls that slam loudly into the protector making parents and players gasp. I simply reach in to my ball bag to throw another one back into play. It looks good when you can do that! Realize this protector stops right below your ribs. If you are taller and don't get low to call balls and strikes you will get hit in the stomach. Realize the level you work and how you work in picking out the umpire chest protector that works best for you. You will never feel a thing when you get hit.

I bought this umpire chest protector based on the reviews, the fact that several MLB umpires use this and my small to average body size. Once it was fitted to my body, I couldn't have been more pleased with my purchase. It fits great and it took a lot of fear away from making the transition from Little League to High School ball. I would recommend this chest protector to anyone looking for serious protection behind the plate.

Gets the job done without fear. Excellent flexibility in positioning.

Phenomenal umpire chest protector! My first day wearing it, I took a high 60's(mph) softball to the sternum area and the West Vest logo is now imprinted on the inside of my shirt and will not come out, but never felt a thing! Overall fit is well. Perfect for anyone with a big neck. I wear a size 19 in the neck of a dress shirt and do not have a problem with this product rubbing my neck area.

There is a reason this is called the West Vest "Gold". It is the gold standard against which all other chest protectors are judged. I've had mine for years and I wouldn't trade it for anything. It has excellent padding, thick shell, fits well, and has a high degree of flexibility. It isn't as long as others but I have only taken one shot below the protector. I agree it would be worth upgrading the harness. This protector is not cheap but it is worth the money.

This has been my favorite chest protector. I would recommend cutting the additional flaps that cover the outer chest/arm pit region for extra mobility as well as removing the strap and ordering an All Star system 7. These two small modifications make this chest protector the best on the market. Also, if you have a higher budget, get this fitted with Team Wendy pads. You will not be unhappy with this product or any of the suggested modifications.

Great umpire chest protector! I use it at all levels (Little League thru semi-pro) and I never worry about my protection. The one thing that would make this 5 stars out of the box would be the harness. I tried and tried, but the Wilson harness doesn't do it for me. I bought the All-Star Delta Flex and it's made this the best umpire chest protector ever!

By far the best umpire chest protector on the market!

Best umpire chest protector I've ever worn. I've been hit with a foul ball off of a 85-90 MPH fastball and felt absolutely nothing. Worth every penny.

Purchased the 13" model a few months ago and it is the best equipment purchase I've made. I was worried about it being too short for me as I'm a large guy, but it hasn't been an issue at all. I have taken several shots off the chest and shoulders since using it, and don't feel a thing from it. Very well built and very comfortable to wear.

I love this chest protector. I have used it for a year now after using the WV Platinum. I work games from 12-13 yr olds on up to college. I love the hard shell designs and this is by far the best I have used. 90+ mph fastballs off the chest are a non-issue.

This is a fantastic chest protector. I bought it in the small-medium size after discussing it's fit with Rob Drake, MLB umpire, and with Jim Kirk before ordering. Jim assured me that if it didn't fit they would exchange it, no problem. It did a fantastic job. You won't get stomach coverage with it but the chest and shoulder protection, lightweight feel and freedom of movement and relative coolness versus chest protectors with more coverage is worth it to me. No break in time required for fit other than adjusting harness to make sure you have collarbone coverage and snugness against torso. I recommend taping the straps after you get a good fit. The pads are removable and washable. It is simply a great protector for the highest levels of baseball. 100% confidence in this piece of equipment. Bought mine in 2007. Still going strong.

Do multiple levels of baseball- college club level down to 9 y.o. rec ball. Provides great protect, hardly feel a square on hit. Only down side is it is short at the waist. I prefer to use it when I do games with better level catchers.

This is the best chest protector I have worn. I went ahead and paid a little more for the gold series to get the extra padding around the chest. I have taken several shots to the chest and never felt a thing. Highly recommended.

This is the Chest Protector, that ALL umps should purchase. Previous to the Gold, had the Platinum, big mistake on my part, should have gone GOLD to begin with. Fits like a glove

Just purchased the Wilson Gold and I am extremely happy with the protector. I had an older model + Pos which was 15 inches long. I thought I may have trouble with protection with the Gold because it was shorter. I'm 6'2 so I was expecting to be exposed in the lower rib area. The Gold fit much more snug than my old model so it doesn't move around and I really don't feel uncomfortable with the length. Great product.

I bought the West Vest gold this year, I've already taken several shots to the chest and shoulder area and have not felt a single one, it's worth the price.

I love this chest protector. To address that the shoulder pads don't fit over the shoulders, I would prefer that they didn't and faced the ball, exactly what they do. The only complaint that I have is that the harness has a few comfort issues, so I added the All-Star delta flex harness.

I have been umpiring for several years and I have tried several brands of chest protectors but always fall back to the Wilson Gold. This is the BEST protector you can have. Do not skimp out on protection to save money. Buy the best gear you can. The Wilson Gold is the Best

I am a bit overweight but I found that this protector to be excellent especially in my stomach area. A Great product

Wow...what a product! If first ordered the Champro Plus-Plate and really like it except for the wide neck opening. So I spent the extra money to get the West Gold and it fits like a glove! The neck line is snug and completely covers the collar bone and all the shoulder plates are attached solidly so you don't get any rattling or movement. After a few strap adjustments the entire vest contours snugly to my entire frame. An added bonus to this vest is the clean professional look it gives under the shirt. I believe that the more professional an umpire looks, at any level, will bring about more respect from coaches and players. The kids try to look like professional ballplayers, we as umpires should do the same for them. This vest is a winner on all levels!

Awesome protection. I have taken at least 10 foul balls off of it, and you feel literally nothing. Catchers have asked me how it doesn't hurt, and I tell them I have a good chest protector. Is it a little bulky, yes, but worth it. This model is definitely tailored to the larger umpires. If you are of a smaller frame, the platinum is for you. I tried on both, and the platinum didn't cover as much real estate.

While the Wilson Gold offers plenty of protection, the shoulder pads are embarrassingly large. I am 6' and 170lbs and this chest protector is not made for average sized people. The sizing picture is misleading, as the vest does not fit tight on your shoulders but instead hangs over and covers your underarm. After doing several games to make up the cost of the protector, it has been retired to storage. Do not buy this if you are of a slender build, it will make you look ridiculous.

I purchased the Gold last May to replace a ChampPro Plus; the fit is great, much better than what I had; while the padding is not near as thick as the ChampPro, the protection seems to be better. I took several foul tips and they didn't phase me - even right over my heart and my collarbone. I am 5'8" and about 200 lbs and the M-L fits great. I have and will continue to recommend this product the all my colleagues. On another note, the customer service was wonderful; I could not have asked for anything better.

The West Vest has been great for me as I officiate plate games in the CIF league. I have been hit by a couple solid foul tips straight in the chest and did not feel anything! You get what you pay for and the West Vest is well worth the cost.

will not go on the field without this chest protector. It gives me a feeling of being safe and confident. I've been hit over my heart by a flying bat and didn't wince thanks to my West Vest.

I've been using this chest protector for over a year and love it. When fitted properly even the hardest of foul tips are no problem. The hard shell removable plates are a positive when it comes time to give the chest padding a thorough cleaning. After a couple hundred games, I had one of the velcro straps that hold one of the plates rip off (for some unknown reason) during a game, but it was somewhat easy enough to sew back on. I am 6'6" and wish it was a couple inches longer but aside from that I feel that the protection I receive from this product is unparalleled.

The Gold is worth its weight in gold.

Received my Gold chest protector and West top line shin guards last Friday. Worked 13 innings behind the dish today and I am absolutely blown away by this gear. I had been using Honigs top shin guards and West platinum but decided to treat myself when it was time for replacement. Wish I'd made the change years ago. I've never felt more secure and had gear that fit so well. This stuff just doesn't move around once it's on. Glad I spent the extra bucks.
