Champro Optimus MVP Chest Protector CP104  

The Champro Optimus MVP Chest Protector (CP104) is a 12-inch youth catcher's chest protector built for young catchers at every level of baseball and softball who need a durable, low-profile one-piece compression molded protector that delivers reliable energy absorption and a secure, customizable fit properly sized for smaller youth frames without the bulk and weight of adult designs. The one-piece compression molded construction distributes ball impact forces across the entire protector surface, the fully adjustable elastic back harness delivers a custom fit for different young body sizes, and the detachable tail extension provides additional lower coverage flexibility. Available at SPC Sports in four colorways -- black, navy, royal, and scarlet.

The one-piece energy-absorbing compression molded construction is the defining structural feature of the CP104 -- by molding the entire protector as a single unified piece rather than assembling multiple panels, the design distributes ball impact forces across the full surface area of the protector rather than concentrating them at seams or connection points, delivering consistent and reliable protection across every contact zone for young catchers at the youth competitive level.

The two-tone graphic print gives the CP104 a distinctive, modern appearance on the field that sets it apart from standard single-color chest protectors, so young catchers can look sharp and feel confident behind the plate from their earliest seasons in organized baseball and softball.

Abrasion-resistant braided nylon binding along the edges of the protector delivers long-term durability at the highest-wear contact points where the binding takes repeated contact from gloves, baseballs, and body movement during catching activity -- holding up through seasons of blocking, diving, and ball contact without fraying, peeling, or losing its edge integrity under youth practice and game use.

The fully adjustable elastic back harness accommodates different upper body sizes and torso shapes within the youth size range, giving coaches and parents the ability to customize the fit of the protector for each individual young player rather than relying on a fixed adjustment that leaves the protector loose, shifting, or poorly positioned on different body types and growth stages.

Rust-resistant nickel-plated steel hardware at all harness connection points provides corrosion resistance against sweat, rain, humidity, and general outdoor moisture exposure so the adjustment hardware maintains its structural integrity and adjustability through years of regular youth season use without rusting, seizing, or requiring replacement due to corrosion.

The detachable tail extension gives young catchers and their coaches the flexibility to add lower midsection coverage below the standard 12-inch protector length when additional coverage is desired for blocking sessions, practice drills, or personal preference -- and remove it for a cleaner, lower-profile fit during games when the extension is not needed.

At just 0.66 lbs the CP104 is the lightest protector in the Optimus MVP lineup, sized and weighted specifically for young bodies so the protector never feels heavy, cumbersome, or fatiguing on smaller youth frames -- keeping young catchers comfortable and focused on developing their skills behind the plate rather than fighting with ill-fitting or overly heavy equipment.

This product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.

FAQ

What size catcher does the CP104 fit? The CP104 is the 12-inch youth size, designed for the youngest catchers in youth recreational and competitive programs whose smaller frames require the properly proportioned coverage that a 12-inch protector provides without the gapping at the top and uncovered zones at the bottom that occur when a larger protector is used on a small young body.

How does the CP104 differ from the CP103 Senior League and CP102 Adult? All three protectors share the same one-piece compression molded construction, two-tone graphic print, braided nylon binding, adjustable elastic harness, nickel-plated hardware, and detachable tail extension. The key difference is length -- the CP104 is 12 inches for youth catchers, the CP103 is 13.5 inches for senior league catchers, and the CP102 is 15 inches for adult catchers. Always size based on the individual player's torso dimensions.

What does the detachable tail extension do? The tail extension attaches below the standard 12-inch protector length to provide additional lower midsection coverage for young catchers who want extra protection during blocking sessions or practice drills -- and detaches easily when a cleaner, lower-profile fit is preferred during games.
