In Search Of: Adams "Shirt" Chest Protector

[AL-Ump]

Greetings -

I'm looking for one of these:

Its a "shirt" type chest protector, probably a liability in baseball due to insufficient cushioning.  These sold out a couple years ago before I decided I wanted one.  They were on Epic Sports for less than $50.

If you have one that you want to get rid of, please drop me a DM.

Thanks!

Are you using this for softball? I use one for softball. I would not use it for any level of baseball. The collarbone protection is not enough for baseball and also there are too many break between the padding.

Yea Softball.

I have a CP that I made last year.  I like the look of this one (a couple buddies have them) so I wanted to try it out.  Will need to modify it a little.

Hey man, this may still have them.

Have you ever ordered from them before?  My Spidy Senses are tingling.....

I looked up the address listed and 

156 Pallet Street
West Nyack NY, United States (US)
10994

is not a valid address....

Stripes plus is a real company. The site above with 2 s's at the end is not a valid site. I was scammed last year from them. 

Stripesplus.com is the real site. They are based in Texas.

Sorry to hear about your issue with the site.

Thought it was weird that they had every size of that chest protector.  Most places have been sold out for a year or more.

Try Official Gear. It's USA Softballs site for uniforms. They had this CP on the site.

They stopped making this 4-5 years ago. We haven't had it for years and I don't know anyone who has had it in stock for years either.

Might be able to help you in a year with something similar it wont be Adams though.

The Davishield CP is also a good choice for softball

Well, that's exciting news!

I've got several people that will be excited to hear that!
