All-Star System Seven Umpire Chest Protector

Sam F, Ohio

Let's put it this way: after two games with this chest protector, the Wilson Gold went on eBay. Not that the Gold is poor - if it were an inch or two longer I'd keep it. But it left my lowest rib exposed. The 15" in All-Star not only fixed that problem but fits so much better. The precurved shoulders distribute the weight better and keep the CP perfectly in place with no sag. My collarbone thanks you! Plus, I don't have to keep the harness as tight, which also is more comfortable to me as I hate it when it's too constrictive. The CP is a bit tight around the neck but I don't have a thick neck so not much of a problem for me but I can see how it would be for some. It's not quite as padded as the Gold but seems to be a bit cooler on hot days. Overall, if the Gold fits, get a Delta Flex harness and go with that. But an exposed rib is a non-starter for me. The All-Star is a fabulous CP and worth the money. I'd rate it at 4.5 stars, with a tiny deduction purely for the neck tightness and slightly thinner padding.
