Schutt (Adams) XV HDX Umpire Chest Protector

[AZUmpire8]

I have worn nothing but this CP for the last 7 years.  I am no longer able to get it from Ump-Attire.  
Do any of you know who still sells these?

I have recently listed one on this board that's in excellent condition. I've tried pretty much every main CP over the years and now have too much equipment. So some of it is for sale.

Until Certor gets its house in order and releases one branded as Tucci, you are relegated to the second-hand market or any online supplier that just happens to have leftovers in stock.

While I am hanging on to mine after buying a Cobalt, I many have a used one coming up for sale in the near future (my son is looking at upgrading).

Thanks fellas....appreciate it. 
Mine is still in good shape, just looking to see if anyone had info.  This helped a lot.

Longer version:

Unfortunately, Schutt (which included Adams and Hollywood Bases) and a few other companies took a hit during COVID (and before).  A finance company, Innovatus Capital Partners, acquired them all and put under the parent company Certor.  They were supposed to be "streamlining" the brands and assets (e.g., placing all the football assets under Schutt and all the baseball assets under Adams). 

Jack Corbett Hollywood Bases was sold off (to Rawlings). 

It appears the baseball is going under the brand Tucci (a bat company they acquired), but all they have on the market currently are bats, helmets, and batting gloves.  There have been a few Tucci masks spotted in the wild, but I can't seem to find a vendor selling them.  Adams is still listed as a brand on the Certor site, but there are no links, no information, and no mention other than a picture.

Football is still being duplicated under Schutt and Vicis (another acquisition), so I'm not sure what's up with that streamlining process.

 

A Google search for "schutt hd umpire chest protector" brought back a few small vendors (probably mom and pop local vendors) who still show them in stock online.
