| Dec. 18, 2009 barrym 158 posts | protection I was wondering if there are neopreme vest and shin pads that can protect infeilders from bad hops. Does any know. It has to be a light weight material though. I am sure football team have some sorta stuff like that. |
| Dec. 18, 2009 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | If you are talking about something like a wet suit for surfing or waterskiing, I doubt they would do much. Perhaps slicing and dicing a catchers chest protector might help but what ever used will hinder some movement & flexibility. Someone posted about something that protected the heart, and there are tons of products for the arms and legs. |
| Dec. 18, 2009 barrym 158 posts | A nice clima cool vest made out of neopreme some thing simular to what swat teams where but in a lighter weight form. Maybe that's something bat company's can think about Never know it might make you look thinner also. lol |
| Dec. 18, 2009 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Still going to have some restriction with one on the chest. Might be less if area around shoulders\arm pits were open and item was fairly smug. |
| Dec. 18, 2009 green rocket 51 posts | Maybe something along the lines of some of the equipment an umpire wears like the kind that fits under the shirt. It is a type of neopreme that isn't too hot during the summer months. Mobility is another issue. As far as shinguards, I have a pair of soccer style that not only protects the shin, it is padded around ankle areas and covers the leg when I wear my hi-top cleats. You can never have enough protection. Add shatterproof glasses or shades along with that mouthpiece...... |

| Dec. 18, 2009 E4/E6 Men's 70 873 posts | Take a look at the MotoCross vest, not only is it good protection, it also allows plenty of mobility. |

| Dec. 21, 2009 Ceres 73 posts | 4Four4, You sound like someone who would like to see a pitcher get his face rearrranged.A pitcher ought to be able to wear the protection he needs without criticism. |
| Dec. 21, 2009 E4/E6 Men's 70 873 posts | Every thread has its Village Idiot! This one is no exception. Welcome 4Four4. |
| Dec. 22, 2009 4Four4 Men's 60 87 posts | Ceres-nope-play 3B and joke was meant for me and my teammates- we still have fun and don't need anybody hurt. Was hit in the cheekbone with a bad hop earlier this year but got my smile back when SS told me - could have been worse - you could have pooped your pants. Called me chknsht and told me to OLE' the next high bounce. E4 - chill out - or FO - it's not always about you. DH - #4 |
| Dec. 22, 2009 E4/E6 Men's 70 873 posts | 4four4 Re read your 1st statement. How is it suppose to be taken? Maybe choose your words a bit more carefully. I'm sure when this took place it was funny, but in print it looses the humor. Sorry you took one in the chops, hope all is ok. |
| Dec. 22, 2009 4Four4 Men's 60 87 posts | E4 - no prob - I was already ugly. Merry CHRISTMAS all. DH - #4 |
| March 5, 2010 Q19 Men's 65 81 posts | Google "EVOSHIELD". I've used it while pitching and haven't yet had the displeasure of being SPUN. Costly at about $90 but some protection is better than none. Conforms to your pectoral dimensions even if they droop a little. Damn, I sound like an advertisement or you can keep a defibrillator in your equipment bag. |
