+POS Zero G Chest Protector, anyone have any thoughts?

[Matt_A_B]

Has anyone seen or used the new Plus POS Zero Gravity hard shell chest protector? I saw it on Ump Attire, and I was wondering a few things about it. 

How does the padding compare to a Gold or Platinum? How does the plastic shell compare to a Gold or Platinum? What is the harness like? Does the 15 inch length include the neck roll, or is the plastic itself 15 inches long? How does it overall compare to other chest protectors? Is it more Wilson and All Star, or more Champion and Champro?

I have owned this CP for about a year now . I have used in gms all the way up to summer league community college level , with no fear 90 mph .
I have been hit by 85+ pitch that F2 missed , right in the mid chest area . Did not  feel anything , just a very loud sound !! I have taken numerous other shots as well , with no issues . When this CP first came on the market , It should be noted that someone else in the group identified the padding for this plus pos CP was from another previous brand CP , not the plastic though . The padding is simply supplied to anyone that wishes to produce a CP , the plastic and how it is attached and any logos/stickers are what make it unique to plus pos .
 i cannot speak to how it would compare with a gold or platinum , I do own a 15" douglas , and an AS system 7 15" , the plus pos CP padding is thick , the plastic is adequate (dont know how thick) the harness strap isnt that great , an AS delta harness could fix that , the delta is widely used to retrofit a variety of other brands of CP , with good to excellent performance . I am 6'4" 260lb's , with a longer than normal torso , and the coverage is very good for my body size/type  . "gap" coverage @ the neck is good  . As with every CP your mileage will vary , too many body types out there . Hows does it compare to my other 2 CP's , my favorite is the douglas , because it is low profile ,simple design ,  however i feel i have the most protection (coverage) with AS system 7 ( and on my body the AS seems bulky) , the plus pos is somewhere in between the douglas & AS . In conclusion i would use the plus pos CP for any level that most of us would likely work , with out any concern .

I have several images of the plus pos and douglas side by side , how ever with the new U E format , i cant load the files , they are too large . If you PM i can send them directly to your email ?
