Adams/Schutt XV HDX chest protector

[SeeingEyeDog]

Does anyone know if this item is discontinued? It's out of stock everywhere I have looked, even at Schutt. I have sent my imperial probe droids out on Ebay...if somebody sees one for sale, please post the link below.

Good luck.

I have looked everywhere too.

@JimKirkany news from Schutt if they’re going to restock?

 

 Thanks

Are you looking for new only, or used too?

I have not seen either. I’m thinking he wants new though.

I have a used one if the price is right. I bought a second CPU4000, but was going to keep the Schitts/Adams for extra hot days. But I'd consider selling it.

call purchase officials, they have one i saw the other day at their office. 

[SeeingEyeDog]

Thank you, @BALL4.

@Rock Bottom, I'm looking for new. But, if I come up empty, I will message you about yours.

@wolfe_man, and of course if it is going out of production, my mind is wandering to what they might be working on to replace it..

In case you haven't checked it out, I know it's more money, but I think this is a phenomenal deal. https://www.ump-attire.com/Products/CPU4000/All-Star-System-Seven-Umpire-Chest-Protector

I traded my Schutt for a Champion. It was going to be my backup for my All American. That is until I got the Cobalt. And now I dont need it.

Thanks.  Any idea if any improvements are being made to it or just a re-run of the current specs model?

They've been out at most places for awhile now, so I was beginning to wonder if it was being decommissioned.

@wolfe_man, there are pictures in the Schutt/Adams 2021 .pdf catalog online that show the same chest protector. Not really detailed photos though showing closeups of the velcro strapping so, we can remain optimistic for an improvement...

Good question.

The Schutt (and Adams) brands were bought out late last year, so I don’t expect any improvement plans right away to anything out of those lines umpire gear-wise and likely was the reason for the long, continuing delay in availability of anything that went out of stock.

If it was no longer going to be available, we would not have kept it sitting there.

Thank for the question. Sorry it took a bit to reply.

I wasn't aware of that, thanks for the information and response.

Ahem. 

If Innovatus Capital Partners is shopping around for improvement plans, I'd nudge them towards, say @wolfe_man, @Razzer, and @MadMax. 

 

 

 

 

I'd include @BT_Blue (Arik), but he's wrapped up with being a CTD for All-Star.

Lol. Guilty... I really like the Cobalt! I do wish I had held on to my MaXV rather than trading away last summer. If I had known there would be a market for them I would have waited.

[BT_Blue]

@MadMax... you made me go Google "CTD". And I don't think I found the proper meaning to the acronym.

Not sure why that didn't come up! The two main search results was a horrible disease and a piece of sonar research equipment for mapping the ocean bed.

Is it a Schutt XV or the “improved” Adams XV-HDX?

Or a MaXV (aka... the HDX before there was a HDX).

[BALL4]

He got it last year
