Chest Protector

[AnthonyW15]

Hey all,

I’m looking for a chest protector.

Hopefully about 50-60$ shipped.

Im just starting out and need something that will last and can withstand a beating.

I know a lot of people say but new but I honestly don’t have the funds.

Thanks so much,

Anthony

Go get the champion chest protector. I think amazon has it for about $60 shipped

Sign up for their text message “coupons” and you should get a 20% off $50+ purchase which makes this a steal and drops it right in your target price range.  New and highly rated for what you are targeting used.

 

Plan B: ask local guys if they have anything they are willing to part with.  If you’ve been at this any length of time, you are starting to accumulate extra gear.

PS — welcome to the ranks!

To echo the advice of @tpatience and @The Man in Blue... you need not get a brand-new Wilson or Douglas CP to have comprehensive protection. Champion’s P2xx CP still is one of the most popular CP’s in the Minor Leagues because it’s:

• At a sub-$80 price point
• Slim, trim, and low profile
• Available in 3 torso lengths
• One-third to one-half the cost of Wilson CP’s (cannot be said enough)

Then, you have the CP that I and a few others here on U-E made famous – the Schutt / Adams XV. It too is at a sub-$80 price point, uses latest generation foam, and its carapace is extremely well ventilated. The only drawback is that it is one-size-fits-most. I routinely take it into 90mph+ environments, and I have zero concerns about it.
