More Like Stomach Guard

Unfortunately the guard did not fit my son well (who is 8). The protection is more located at the stomach, rather than the chest.

Junk Do Not Buy

I have four kids and bought 4 different sizes for each of them. The shirts fit but the pad was so low it would only protect against them getting hit in the stomach. No protection for their chest. Totally Worthless if your kids plan on pitching. I sent them all back do not bother buying this unless you plan on resewing the pad higher.

Heart Shield Too Low

Bought this shirt for my 12 year old son. The shirt fits fine, but the heart shield is way too low (sits at his stomach). Returning

Doesn't Protect The Right Location.

The heart protection is located too low on the shirt. We ordered an XXS for my daughter who pitches and normally wears a girls size 8 shirt. The only protection it provided was for her stomach area. We are returning it an ordering an Evoshield.

No Heart Protection At All

My 9 year old is small for his age, and my 7 year old is big for his age. Both of their chests measure 26''. Knowing that the size chart had the smallest size at a 27", I ordered the XXS, understanding that it may be a little big. The actual shirt fit fine, but the heart guard was at their belly buttons. Not one part of the guard was at their chest. I can't image that the guard would be in the correct place for a child measuring 27" either. Very disappointing.
