I owned the V1 of this chest protector since 2013. It's been getting a bit ratty and I had to replace the strap a few years ago. I upgraded to V3 and WOW! It fits better, it's noticeably lighter and clearly has just a bit more protection. I know V1 was awesome so I expect that by the feel of this, it will be better.

I have been umpiring for 8 years at many levels of baseball and softball competitions, from 10u rec-ball, travel ball, to high school and some college scrimmages. I was replacing the Champro chest protector that I have been using and am extremely happy with the customization and fit of the Force3 V3. I have taken some shots to the chest so far and this product delivers with protection and comfort. I am 6'0" tall, weighing 285 and have pretty wide shoulders and an 18 1/2" neck. I was able to fit this nicely around my neck without chafing and extend the shoulder protection to cover my shoulders. The adjustability and extra length in the abdominal region does not restrict my movement when squatting into position. Definitely worth the expense for a top-of-the-line chest protector.

Low profile and adjustable. Definitely takes some getting used to, but so far it's on the top of my list of best chest protectors that I've worn.

Questions About This Product

Q: I am 73 yrs old and have been umpiring since 1984. I have had a defibrillator since 2011. Is the Force3 V3 chest protector adequate to protect my defibrillator? I have been using a Wilson West Vest since 2011 and been fine. I know there are NO GUARANTEES but is their sufficient protection for my defibrillator?
– Larry Anderson
A: 

Thanks for your question. The answer gets into medical advice, which we want to stay away from. What we can tell you is which chest protectors provide more protection than others. Please see our Buying Guide for those details. If you have been wearing the Wilson West Vest, and it has worked well, the closest style to that is the Wilson Pro Gold 2 Air Management System Chest Protector. If you are going to switch to something else, including the Force3, we would encourage you to speak to your physician.
