Baseball Catcher's Chest Protectors

Chest protectors are usually made of a durable foam-like material that contours to the player’s body for full protection. They are designed to keep players cool during games by having a mesh-like substance on the inside of the armor. Like other equipment, more expensive chest protectors are typically made from higher quality materials such as softer, lighter, more breathable foam allowing for easier mobility and movement.

To find the chest protector that is the right size, measure the length of your neck to the top of your waist in inches. The length you choose will correspond with an online or store tag size. For example, if you measure 15 inches, then a size 15 protector is appropriate for you.
