This Old CP, 2016 Edition
It seems my modifications to the Schutt XV chest protector have popularized a trend, and inspired several others to join in. I now have 4 CP's here that I'll be making a variety of modifications to so as to extend and improve their usefulness.
Schutt XV – This will be using a ULFH from @Razzer (which I've taken to nicknaming RayFlex or, in this case StingRay) in the 3-strap variant. Instead of utilizing the existing yoke – as we did with @D62 blue http://umpire-empire.com/index.php?/topic/
Alright you guys, I remembered I did take photos of the Kevlar-retrofitted WV Gold we had here in Phoenix. My umpire colleague (and now good friend) was here for a USA Baseball tournament, and came prepared with two CPs. One was a stock-standard Platinum, the other this one-off Gold. He ordered two RayFlex harnesses thru me, and I rigged them up as soon as the harnesses arrived.
Notice that the new Kevlar padding vest is one-third to one-half the thickness of the sofa-cushion foam
