This protector has a very professional look and provides maximum protection
Very light and flexible, but offers great protection. I work mostly high school; took some good shots this year but this protector did it's job!
The buckle system for lowers elastic straps very bad. They loosen up made contact and you said I should buy clips very upset I pay the price I pay and you won’t try to fix problem
Hi Ryan- We understand you're disappointed with the lower elastic straps. As we had discussed, this issue is easily fixed with tri-glide buckles for individuals who have trouble with the straps slipping. Per our last email, we'd be happy to send you a couple of those free of charge. Please contact our customer service at cx@davisofficials.com and we'd be happy to get those in the mail for you.
Took a foul off the right upper shoulder area. Felt only the the thud of the ball, but nothing beyond that. Ball ricocheted about 30' away.
Easy to get on.
Great feel easy to adjust, one game in and I’m in love
It fits great,I’m 6 foot 3 inches & gives me great protection. I also like that it’s not bulky under my shirt !
Very thin and light weight. Hardly notice that I am wearing this protector. Pretty sure this protector saved me from a broken collar bone on the 2nd night I wore it.
Clearly offers good protection as I upgraded from an older soft Davis model. A little akward at times with arm range of motion limited.
A little bulky for me at the shoulder.
Return was easy and quick
This is a little flimsy. I had a hard time keeping it tight, never really fit right , and the plastic was pretty thin,
Probably for little league. I sent it back for a WEST vest
Thanks for your review John. The DX chest protector is low profile, and lightweight designed specifically for umpires working games up to the 18U level, which includes senior level high school play. Its modern laminate foam stack provides the necessary protection without compromising mobility, and the plates are about 1mm thinner than the West Vest, ensuring adequate protection for its intended design. The slim design is an intentional feature that allows for better range of motion and comfort during games, and eliminates the linebacker look. The West Vest relies on thicker open-cell foams for adequate protection but is more suitable to collegiate and professional play.
