Normally I just browse the site, and don't post much (I need to change that), but I figured I would chime in here with my 2 cents. I had 6 plates in the 92° heat on Saturday, which I will never do again. However, the only issue I had with feeling overheated was my legs from my shin guards. I'm only 15, so I have all my tips and tricks for staying warm during the cold HS season for us Ohio guys. I'm a big advocate for a company called Frostgear. Small company ran by a firefighter, and I love their cold weather gear. It made a big difference in warmth for me. This summer, the released a heat management line, and I decided to buy a compression shirt to hopefully stay cool during my plates. I can't stress enough how much I like them. I wore it as my shirt underneath my CP, and haven't had an issue yet.
And for those who wondered why I worked 6 plates in one day (14 total over the 3 day tournament), I figured since this was a rec ball tourny, I'd be able to take it, as I'm younger and usually don't have an issue with it. Well, I've learned my lesson. No more than 3 plates in a row, ever again.
