$250-$300? i have a platinum retrofit and sold my wv gold retro when I got the platinum. Don't like the wings on gold. I think Wilson will eventually update the padding on the west vest and the retrofits will no longer have the luster or demand that they have today.

Man, it's really hard to tell.

 

I've been waiting for a padding update to the Wilson products for 15 years. And all we got was the less than worthless Davishield. Thanks Gerry.

 

IMO, even if someone comes out with a better solution, the TW will carry the cool factor for quite some time. One, because it works. And two, because you can't get them any more. I've got a Riddell in my closet right now. Honestly, it's not the best overall protector, but it's still the Holy Grail of umpire gear.

 

 

If the Platinum is the larger size, I'd say close to $350. You'd have to find the right buyer, or two of 'em if you go to eBay.
