We took advantage of the amazing Black Friday sale and bought a full set of gear with the Traditional Defender Mask for my nephew. Pretty sure I'm safely in the lead as the best uncle ever. He's barely taken the gear off since he got it. Looks exactly like what the pros are wearing, and certainly appears to provide pro-level protection. Thanks!
Great stuff! My daughter loved here Easton gear but this is two steps up!!!
My son absolutely loves his new gear. Still breaking it in, but happy with his upgrade for sure.
My daughter is starting her time as a catcher for fastpitch softball. She already had a helmet when we began our search for new equipment so she settled for the purple set instead of the pink. She has taken a few hits with the new gear on and has come away unscathed. Great equipment, Great value, will buy another set once she outgrows this one.....next time with the pink helmet.
The quality is amazing!
The adjustable straps are incredibly durable and don't come loose easily! It's very comfortable.
The fit of this chest protector is exactly what you are looking for. It stays down while you are in the crouch and does not move up when you pop to throw. Had a couple in the dirt first game wearing it and it stayed in place and I was able to box them down without feeling much when the ball hit
12yo son says it fits good but is a bit big, which we knew as he is on the younger side of the age group of the intermediate. Says it breaths and he doesn't feel the ball as much blocking.
This is great! Comfortable and great coverage
Son loves it, size is true fit.
I had never seen or felt a Force 3 chest protector in person. When I received mine it was a WOW factor for me and my son. It is the best padding that we have ever felt. The first weekend from when we received it my son played in a tournament and just couldn't believe that he couldn't feel the ball bounce of his chest. He kept testing and testing it and was so excited about it. Oh also, those leg guards are sweet looking also. Thank you for a great product.
Solid protection, easy to fit, quick on/off.
Great fit for my son.
11u son, youth size fits perfect. He likes it better than his S7 gear. He said it’s a lot more comfortable when blocking and he takes a ball off of his mask. He highly recommends.
Amazing quality. Fantastic blowout sale! Received within two days. Literally just ordered a second set 😁
Great fit comfortable
Exemplary design and construction of this chest protector. My feelings are that my son is now wearing the best protective gear on the market.
My 13u son loves it. Light weight, durable, fits well.
Excellent
Solid gear
Its a nice chest protector, however the head hole is too small. My head isn't that big and it barely fits through it.
Hi Derek, perhaps you selected the wrong size. If you have any questions, please reach out to support@force3progear.com.
Amazing gear thank you so much great deal.
Grabbed a mega deal, Leg Guards and Chest protector for $159!!! you can't beat that!
Pretty sweet! ;)
Takes impact well on blocking balls. Only issue, the clips don't hold the sizing straps that well. I had to take clips off my old equipment.
Hi Kevin, thanks for your feedback! We're glad the protector performs well. If you have questions about the clips, please reach out to support@force3progear.com. Appreciate your support!
Absolutely amazing product super satisfied
My daughter loves all the gear!!! She has several sets with all sorts of colors. Just got the Red set as she’s heading to college to play for the RedHawks of Ripon.
Great product..my son says it is so protective as a catcher..
