Adams XV HDX Umpire Chest Protector

I have been using the previous version of this CP (schutt XV) for several years . The protection & fit is excellent , however the harness (strap) was of poor quality & materials , i spent additional $$ and had a much better quality Harness made , which dramatically improved the fit of the older version CP . When the new version model (Adams XV) , was introduced with upgrades & improvements i decided to give it a try . I Have only used it for 3 games to date , the new designed harness system quality is dramatically improved and seems to have a much better form & fit on the body . It also appears that the foam padding protection is of a newer composition ? Essentially the rest of the new model CP appears to be the same . It also comes with bicep pads , which i find useless . I have taken one hard shot to the chest already with no ill effect . This Cp design is excellent for hot weather due to all the "air holes" , and is also very light to wear . protection is excellent . Marc M
