Now that I've finished the season, I'm focused on finding a CP that will work for me. I'm in need of a quality CP that will cover my narrow clavicle and side b**b, not slip down, and allow me to raise my arms. I've tried the Wilson platinum, but it's too wide and left my clavicle wide open (wasted $). I looked like the kid in the snow suit from A Christmas Story in it. I have a cheap soft vest but even at its tightest (without killing the girls) and with two different harnesses, it keeps slipping down. Plus, the cheap one isn't safe, bruised ribs twice wearing it on kids games. Any ideas? I'd love to see some of your vests on a lady if it's possible. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

I would think the Unequal may be a good fit.  It's very adjustable, and the neckline is very tight.  I put the Delta Flex harness on it, but at 6'1, 200lbs, I had a hard time getting it tight enough.  I suspect with the stock harness, you may be able to get it tighter on the bottom strap since you could cinch it in further.  The design of the Delta Flex, with it's wide base of the triangle doesn't allow it to be tightened quite as much.

Amen to that.

Obviously I can't give you a female perspective on fit but I can tell you that the protector I've worn for about 12 years does a really good job of wrapping around the side ribs, fits snugly and stays up really well. I wear the Honigs K-1 Pro Elite and really like it for the reasons mentioned above; it's also really light, cool and comfortable and has given me great protection working varsity HS ball. I had a Platinum for 3 years that I rotated with my Honigs and after a few years I realized that I was almost always wearing the K-1 so I sold the Platinum.
