In fairness, neoprene isn’t exactly a crude open-cell upholstery foam, which is used on cheap sofas, loungers... and Wilson WestVests. 

That s#!t holds moisture like a sodden sponge 🧽. Ever dump a gallon of water on a cheap couch? 

... ever wait around for it to dry? 

I just think of a wet-suit when I see the word neoprene, but ... it's just something I have in my head I guess because it is light, and it is great for obsorbing shocks, so ... there you have it! 😉

Well I just gave it off to the seamstress! I’m excited! It’s my early Christmas gift to myself.

I can see you Happy Gilmore’ing it, and hopping in the first batting cage you can find to take pitches off the chest to test it out. 

In lieu of that, I think either @acpar72 or @kylejt has a “CP Tester On A Stick!”

Oh cool! Hey! I am 16, so heck yah I am doing that! Going to the cages soon! Dead serious! Unless if you have someone who tests them.

What’s that? Is it a umpire chest protector testing shop?

It’s the teenager thing to do!

I'm just commenting for when @Razzer pops in and gives his thoughts. We already got Max. Now waiting with baited breath for Ray to make an appearance!

Sorry for just jumping in here guys. I haven’t been around here in a few years but I’m amazed to see people still talking about the Team Wendy’s retrofit. It was a really sweet CP. Good luck to those of you trying to recreate a better mousetrap. I’d love to see someone do it

Umpiresrock74, thanks for the message. Good luck with your experiment. Give me a day or 2 to send you some of my retrofit pictures. Maybe they can help you

I’ve hung up my mask due to an injury but would be willing to sell my Team Wendy retrofit CP for the right price if anyone is interested

LOL and what is the "right" price?  There are lots of guys out here looking for one, you can sell it today - just name a fair price.

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I AM SAYING!!!

[Mr Ump]

That price will be interesting. I think when I had my team west vest, it was in the $300 range. Although I am in the All-Star Colbalt game, I would really be interested to see how this plays out.

Can someone say “prototype chest protector almost ready!”. Guys want a sneak peek picture!?

IS THE POPE CATHOLIC!? IS THE SKY BLUE!? IS THE UMPIRE ALWAYS RIGHT!? (Ok... maybe that last one is a bad example... but still...)

Not the prettiest thing on earth. But it still needs to be sewn together with shoulder pads, kidney padding, etc… However, it will get the job done as a prototype for this upcoming season. Trim will be sewn around the whole thing, etc..

How thick is that? Looks big.

[Umpiresrock74]

1/2 inch.

Umpires! I need thoughts, and suggestions! What do you guys think?
