  1. Yes they do. They will send everything back.
  2. Yes. It's been off for a few years.
  3. I'm out of town right now, but I'll be home tomorrow. Pics will come then.
  4. Yes I have a delta flex, but I feel the Wendy padding provides more of a form fit. It seems to wrap around more than the original padding.
  5. I received my platinum back on Friday. The Wendy padding is a little heavier than the original but it's much lower profile. Also, it seems to provide a close and snug fit which makes it more comfortable in my opinion. I will post pics as soon as I can.
  6. I removed the pad on mine a few years ago, as have many of my buddies that own platinums. I also recently sent in my CP to be retrofitted by TW, but I am not sure if its their practice to remove the pad or not. I'm sure Sheilah from TW can answer that question though.
  7. Here is my theory on havjng to send in the protector. The reason you have to send in the protector is due to the slight variation in placement of the holes in the plates for the velcro to attach. Each production run of chest protector varies slightly from the next. It's easier on TW to have the protector to ensure a proper fit. Also, it eliminates people sending back the padding due to improper fit or alignment of velcro with the holes in the plastic plates. They also don't have to worry about the different sizes of protectors (ex. 13in vs 15in, etc.) Of course it's a slight hassle to send in the protector, but in the end, I'd rather have a perfect fit than have to deal with hassle of exchanges and such.
  8. You're right on with the reasons you listed. Here are mine: 1) I have had the platinum for 7 years now. The foam padding is starting to break down and compress more than I would like. As with you, I don't feel much when I get hit, so I'm not doubting the protection. I would rather fix it before I do start to feel it. 2) I like the idea of a slimmer looking protector. I'm not the smallest guy, 6-3 225, so any reduction in the bulk will help lol. 3) The extra protection of the TW padding is definately a bonus. Seems to be the best protection and most advanced material on the market. If I'm going to be getting hit, I'd much rather be wearing the best possible gear I can. From all the research I've done, the TW retro seems to be the best solution for me. I don't want a new CP, I love my platinum, just some modifications and improvements. The slimmer profile and new padding would have sold me, so the beefed up protection was just a bonus.
  9. Finally finished up my last games down here in FL, so I stopped by the UPS store to send off my platinum to be retrofitted. Can't wait to get it back. Hope to have it back by mid December and just in time to get ready for pro school. Pics to come as soon as I get it back.
  10. At the end of the video you can read Phillips' lips. Looks like he say "Man you suck."
  11. Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered mine for a backup.
  12. Yost said "Check the replay after the game and you'll find out!" Hopefully Yost checked it as well so he can see how great of a call it was.
