It’s a knock off west vest. Thick and probably hot. It’s just way cheaper

FIFY. 

To be fair, the harness is still pathetic, and the body contact material on the vest is crude nylon... which really perplexes me, because if you look at the other new Champro CP models, they've got much better foam and contact materials. It's no Schutt-Adams or All-Star, but c'mon! Show some attention to detail, will ya Champro? 

To their credit, they made the pectoral wings easily removable (which I can still do on a West Vest Gold with a utility knife or some craft scissors), to which Wilson can't be bothered, and both the chest plate and lower torso plate group are pre-curved, whereas Golds tend to arrive... well... flat. 

And I do say, I favor the swashbucklin' C logo a helluva lot better than that obnoxious yellow W!

Since Wilson is updating their Gold CP's, do you think they let Champro buy out the old one?  I doubt it personally,  but man this thing looks like a Gold.
