  1. I think it is pretty awesome. I don’t have the exact specs in front of me, but I believe it weighs around 2.3 lbs — incredibly lightweight while still delivering a very high level of protection. The model shown is the Cobra-Pyramid, named after its internal patent-pending pyramid padding system. +POS sent us several samples for umpires to test, and we distributed them to collegiate umpires for evaluation. The feedback has been overwhelming. Every tester was supposed to return the chest protector after a few weeks, but so far I haven’t been able to get a single one back — nobody wants to go back to their old protector... 😂.
  2. We're pretty excited they are back, and glad they chose us to partner with. They have some pretty cool stuff in the works that will be coming out in the next year (the titanium mask was just the first). The Cobra v2 (in development) looks pretty awesome and innovative. Upgraded leg guards as well (the current low profile are good, but more of a starter leg guard). As for the frame, I've never personally seen the Nike - from the pictures they do look like the same template, but I'll leave it to you guys to scrutinize the fine details. When compared to the Wilson, I think the +POS frame is slightly lighter (by an oz. or so). I feel like the welds on the +POS are a little cleaner too for a little sharper look. Having the titanium frame in black is a nice new option (that's been our best seller since they arrived). I think it is a very high quality mask, and once they get the leather pads to us (a few more weeks), we'll have a pretty good titanium alternative to the Wilson. +POS knows their quality will be scrutinized so they are very focused on making sure their high end products meet the standards we've come to expect from them.
  3. It was the best selling piece of new umpire equipment we've had in years after the first week.
