So had a chance to use this in a majors ll game (11-12 year olds). It's definitely not low-profile, but the protection felt great, and nice coverage. I felt like a tank back there. Still have a bit of tweaking to do on the fit on the straps, or might move to the highly praised delta-flex, but for the cost, I'm thrilled with the CP, and love that it has the removeable pads.
