Amazing gear! Best deal on top notch gear had my youth catcher looking and playing good
Hi Kyle, we're thrilled to hear your catcher is looking and playing great with our gear!
Finding gear that fits my 8U little dude has not been easy, but the Force3 Junior sizes have been amazing. Very few high-quality options available in the 6-9 range, and even fewer that mean NOCSAE. The Defender Chest Protector is light weight, fits great, and looks awesome.
If I had one critique, I do with the junior size had the same adjustment mechanisms as the Youth and Adult versions. Not real clear why they aren't. It would be much easier for an 8 year old to be able to unclip one clip and slide the gear off rather than pulling the whole thing over his head and messing up the sizing each time. Just added work for the coach.
Other than that, its an outstanding piece of kit.
Returned and waiting for a refund. Like the product but to big and bulky for my kid.
Great protection. We couldn't decide between the junior size and youth size, but went with junior based on measurements after speaking to a rep. However, we chose the light blue which didn't have as many pictures as the other colors so we didn't realize that the junior size didn't have clips but rather an attached strap. We would've chosen youth based on this alone if we'd realized. It's still great gear, but the strap isn't ideal for us. I'm sure we could've gone through the return/exchange process but it didn't feel worth it.
Hi Sarah, thank you for your detailed feedback! We're glad you like the protection, and we appreciate your insights about the strap. If you ever decide to explore other options, we're here to help. Thanks for choosing FORCE3!
Not a huge fan of the straps. I wish there were lower clips, like the adult version. When you have to really tighten it, the horizontal strap just stretches up. Hard to keep on position.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your input on the straps. Feel free to reach out to support@force3progear.com for assistance.
This is our second set purchaed since Christmas. I am impressed wirh the way it can be manipulated to fit my 7 year old son. Cant wait to get him another colorway.
Perfect fit!
Delivery kind of slow :/
Glad you're happy with the fit. Delivery within the U.S. generally takes 2-6 business days.
Awesome
