My son is 11 going on 12 and I bought him the men ’s small it fits perfect, since he is catching 12u this year and the ball is going to come a little faster it gives me great piece of mine this under his 7 axis Allstar catching gear

This product is an excellent option to buying new gear!

Comfortable. Easy to care for. Way cheaper than buying new catcher gear.

Bought this for my son that catches, he usually never wears an under shirt due to them getting sweaty and sticky but this one doesn ’ t and it ’s breathable. He now wears it all the time

My daughter needed a chest protector for softball 12u. Do to growing/expanding in the chest area I kept having to buy her a new chest plate forms every 2 months( which can get costly) so we decided to give this a try instead. She worn it for 2 seasons now and has been very happy with it. As she grows it continues to form to her to make a perfect fit. I was afraid it 'd be bulky and get in the way since it's a little thicker then the other chest guards but She wears it on the pitching mound and says its not bulky and does n't get in the way and it's comfortable. She has seemed very happy with it so far. I do wish they 'd sell these for ladies too that way she could get a different cut shirt( racerback) but that's minimal and we can work around it.

Our daughter is a pitcher on a competitive 14u softball team. We bought this to give her a little added protection on the mound. Fortunately she had it on this weekend when she took a hard line drive to the ribs. She was able to pick herself up and finish the game, no bruise, no broken ribs.

I brought this confidence shirt for my son who plays elite u11 soccer. It took a bit to get him to wear but he know wo n't play a game without it. Over the last two weeks, he has taken hits directly to areas that are protected in the shirt. He took a soccer ball to the chest that would have put him on the ground. After the impact he was able to keep on playing through without a hitch. He also collided with a goalie who had his knee up. The collision hit him right underneath the chest or sternum. This could have caused a major injury. Again, he was barely affected by the impact. Thank you for making this product. I think you need to market it more agressively to youth soccer which is quite physical at the elite level. My son is a striker and take a fair amount of punishment. We were growing quite concerned about him until we got this product. This product is worth every penny and I will buy it again.

5 Stephanie L.
I bought these shirts for our boys( size S, M, L). They are very lightweight, wearing well, and are great quality!

The protection area is large& the sides of the shirt is mesh so it will be cool for the summer games. This shirt is exactly what I was looking for!!

5 HUANG W.
When a three- year- old daughter rides a balance car, she may hit the sternum. This �Hex Sternum Shirt offers great chest protection and I really like it.

My daughter loves the feel and comfort of this! She never leaves home without it on for practice or a game!

I bought this after my son severely bruised his ribs in a high school soccer game. It has quality padding while not being too bulky or inhibiting his movement. I believe this gave him the confidence to return the the game quicker than if he had not had the protection. Dick ’s not only price matched, but also honored the current coupon that I had. It made me a huge fan where I was just a customer bwfore

We got the adult Battle Defender shoulder pads for my 16- year- old son heading into his junior year of high school. He plays running back and occasionally linebacker, and these have been a game- changer. Right away, the fit stood out — snug, low profile, and super lightweight compared to other brands we 've tried. The protection is solid without feeling bulky, and the sternum and rib coverage gives me confidence he's well protected. He mentioned it feels like he's not even wearing pads once he ’s on the field — full range of motion, no pinching or shifting. Plus, the look is clean and modern, which matters to a high school athlete. Ventilation has also been great during summer practices. Highly recommend for skill position players who want to stay fast and protected. Worth every penny.

I am 5' 5 160lbs and the small fits small on me which i like but the medium would fit absolutly perfect too! Also the pads have the perfect amount of protection needed
