West Vest Gold A3210, West Vest Platinum, and the "Original" West Vest are protected by United States Patent # 5,530,966, Canadian Patent # 2,152,045 and is Patent Pending in Japan. All three designs are worn by over 90% of the Major League Umpiring staff and are the only chest protectors endorsed by Major League Baseball for use by their umpires.
 
All three protectors have open cell foam covered by the hard outer plastic for absorbing the blow from a foul tip or even a bat that has been thrown in the umpires direction (they have been tested on professional football players for strength and durability) . The purpose of the protector is to cover the torso that is most vulnerable to an injury that could break a bone (ribs, collar bone) or stop the heart (sternum) or lungs.

By popular demand Joe West has designed a chest protector for the smaller umpire. The newly designed WESTVEST GOLD and WESTVEST PLATINUM now come in a "Smaller Version." Designed for the umpires who wear smaller than a 38 size jacket. This new smaller protector afford you the same protection as the larger version and gives the perfect fit.

By reconfiguring the plates a person who is 5'7" can wear the same vest as a larger frame 6'4" umpire. There are Major League Umpires who have worn this vest for their entire careers in the Major Leagues...Some for more than ten years. Because the plates can be removed the vest can be cleaned between uses.
