I bought this shirt to protect my ribs and back in roller derby. The shirt fits snugly (it's spandex) and covers the rib area very well. There is also a smaller pad that protects the small of your back. The shirt is comfortable either as a first layer or on top of another shirt, and really protects the ribs against elbows, blocks, and slay rides. I definitely recommend for roller derby jammers.

This is a great product. It is light weight, so it doesn't feel like you are wearing anything. I have used it about 2 times since I received it form AMAZON. Let me tell you, I have been taking it to the hole a lot more aggressively. I have been hit about 4 times pretty hard in the kidney area and lower chest. I know it was hard because it sort of knocked the wind out of me, but i didn't feel it... so the product was working. You won't notice it underneath your basketball top and I like that aspect of it. The only thing that i noticed was that it would slide up about and 1 inch every so often, so i would have to pull down and adjust it just a bit. But its no big deal. If you dont have this. BUY IT.

My daugher, Jacquelyn, this summer sustained an injury to her face playing softball. Her two front teeth were literally knocked clear to the back of her mouth. Thankfully, after getting prompt medical attention they were able to reset her teeth and hopefully saved them. She also needed three stitches to her upper lip which left a scar. After doing extensive research on the subject of facial injuries to girls playing softball, I came across this product on line, the Gameface. She absolutely loves it and it gives her the confidence to return to the field. She's now playing fall ball and is doing great.

The reality is that high velocity objects heading in your kid's direction tend to do damage, and kids do get their teeth knocked out by line drives. At $40, the mask seems a little pricey for what it is, and I know that may hinder some parents from getting it, but it's still a lot cheaper than an ambulance ride and a trip to the ER and well worth helping a kid not be afraid of getting out and playing a game. It really helped increase confidence on the girls softball field and didn't interfere with vision.

(at least according to my brother, whom these were purchased for).

He has used many types of gloves during his football career, wearing holes through many of them. These are his favorite out of all that he has tried for comfort, grip, and longevity.

These gloves are great. They grip the ball very well. I haven't tried them in the rain but when it's dry I can catch a lot more balls.
