Optimus Select Plus Catcher's Kit

Greetings fellow 40+ year old dads who are also making the transition with your son from "Let's play catch" to "I hope my reflexes are good enough to survive this." My son reached the point about 6 months ago that catching a bullpen for him started to scare the bejesus out of me. I put it off and put it off, but after the 36th or so time of taking a missed ball to the gut, feet, knees, and knackers, I ordered this kit. I'm 6'4 315lbs. The adult size fits great. I'm a big/tall guy and I have the shoulder straps and waist straps on the chest protector at their shortest possible positions. So there's LOTS more room for even a way bigger guy than me to fit this gear. Which surprised me, because I was frankly expecting to max out the strap lengths. So all the other reviews are definitely correct about the chest protectors being bigger than expected. The mask has a nice fit. It looks silly relative to a more traditional mask, but that was not a deal breaker for me. The shins are also very nice, very comfortable, breathable, and easy to adjust. Like I said.... I'm 6'4 and the shins fit exactly as they should. The chest is everything it should be. Well padded, comfortable, great coverage, easily adjustable. Now I'll grant you, I've only been using this gear everyday for a little over a week now in both indoor and outdoor bullpens. But, so far, it's everything I need it to be for a very fair price. The stitching is all well done and the overall material quality is every bit as good as any other set of catchers gear I've had my hands on. And, other than the mask shaped like the green goblin's head, the whole kit looks pretty good, too. I got the black set and it's sharp looking for sure. That was just a bonus because, like I said, I'm over 40 and largely don't care how things look on me in the first place. Ultimately, I'm glad I caved and bought this kit. Catching for my kid doesn't scare the absolute crap out of me anymore.

Fits good daughter is 5'8 200lbs. And fits her with room to grow

Had to purchase a separate chest protector as the one in the kit was HUGE! very bad sizing information on listing but kit was high quality overall

This kit is awesome love playing with it it's super comfy

The gear is okay and fits but the shin guards slide off a ton. I feel like they need another strap or two in order to stay in place. There is too big of a gap from ankle to back of knee— needs another one mid calf. Even crossing them doesn’t quite do it as the mid calf kind of bows out when you criss cross straps there. Otherwise my son loves how he feels in the gear and feels super cool and confident!

A mi hija le encantó

Nice catchers gear for my tall thin 5'5 11yr old.

Medida para adultos y rodilleras muy ligeras para poder correr cuando se ocupe.

Llevo mes y medio con ellos y hasta el momento todo bien las espinilleras son un poco delgadas por lo que no están tan alcochonadas pero eso las hace ligeras también el peto es lo más pesado que tiene ya que tiene doble placa de protección en el pecho
