I sent my Douglas West Vest, which I bought from Joe West directly at umpire school back in 1992 to team Wendy to retrofit with their padding. I'm still using the original elastic harness. I figure this is a good of a time as any to do an upgrade.

 Any suggestions for harnesses that would work well with this particular chest protector? The original harness does have the propensity to drift down occasionally particularly when you have weather where one day you're wearing more stuff then another its warm, and you haven't battened down the straps for the warm weather.

The only trouble with the DF is it'll make you wonder why you took so long to try it. It's like having a whole different c/p.

it's so amazing to me that the Pros don't use this harness also.  All they do is re-adjust their CPs between pitches With the Delta Flex, you never touch your CP

Delta Flex all the way.  I was surprised how much better my Platinum fit after I swapped it out.  Much snugger and sat up higher.

I did have to duct tape the straps as, due to my "girthiness", the straps tended to pull through the clips.

I'll jump on the DF bandwagon.

 

LOVE IT.

I jumped on a few years back. Finally getting the bottom straps adjusted. Will never go back.

I love the DF, but hope that another company makes another to take the chest protector replacement harness monopoly out and see some competition.

not a monopoly by definition, just a better product :nod:

Thunderheads preaching the gospel on the DF. Without a doubt it will be the best $30 you will ever spend on umpire equipment. Since I bought this for my cp, if I even touch mine during a game its to help get a little air in. You don't realize how much you adjust your cp in a game until you don't have to.

You also have a choice of elastic or webbing...IMO the elastic is way better than the nylon webbing and it makes the fit better
