Made from a multi-layered low rebound foam, the Champion Sports Youth Chest Protector is great for keeping players aged 9 to 12 feel safe and comfortable when high-speed pitches are tearing through the air. The foam is incredibly lightweight and flexible and is covered with a breathable Lycra® material to prevent overheating when the sun is beating down on the diamond. The chest protector boasts an encased sternum plate to help deaden balls on impact, and it has a removable shoulder cap with a collarbone pad for additional safety.
