The Champro Optimus Champion Plus Chest Protector for Commotio Cordis (CPN33) is a NOCSAE-certified youth-size catcher's chest protector built for young catchers who need the highest level of cardiac protection available in a competitive chest protector -- meeting the NOCSAE standard for Commotio Cordis (ND200-22) and complying with NFHS rules. The 14.5-inch youth size provides the correct coverage dimensions for developing catchers at the youth competitive level, the six-piece cardiac pad spans the full chest width without sacrificing mobility, memory foam ab padding delivers natural responsive protection on every blocking and retrieving situation, and a detachable groin protector is included. Available at SPC Sports in five colorways -- black, grey, navy, royal, and scarlet.
Commotio Cordis certification to NOCSAE standard ND200-22 is the defining protection feature of the CPN33 -- Commotio Cordis is a rare but potentially fatal cardiac event caused by a blunt impact to the chest at a precise moment in the cardiac cycle, and NOCSAE ND200-22 certifies that this protector has been tested and verified to provide meaningful protection against this specific injury risk for young catchers at the youth competitive level where this protection standard is increasingly required and recommended by youth leagues and governing bodies.
NFHS compliance means the CPN33 meets the equipment requirements for sanctioned high school baseball and softball play -- a meaningful certification for youth catchers who are developing toward high school competition and whose leagues may adopt NFHS equipment standards in advance of their players reaching that level.
The full chest width six-piece cardiac pad system covers the entire cardiac zone of the chest without creating the rigid, inflexible protection panels that restrict arm movement, shoulder rotation, and throwing mechanics -- delivering maximum cardiac protection across the full width of the chest while maintaining the natural range of motion young catchers need to develop proper throwing mechanics, blocking technique, and game awareness behind the plate.
Memory foam ab padding in the lower section of the protector conforms naturally to the shape and movement of the young catcher's midsection on every blocking situation, absorbing and distributing ball contact forces across a wider surface area than rigid foam designs -- giving youth catchers a more responsive, natural-feeling block that protects the ab zone without the jarring stiffness of non-memory foam alternatives.
The detachable groin protector provides additional protection at the lower coverage zone and can be removed based on personal preference, league requirements, or individual comfort without affecting the performance of the main chest protector -- giving young catchers and their coaches the flexibility to customize the protection configuration at the youth level.
The 14.5-inch youth length sits in the anatomically correct position from the collarbone to the bottom of the midsection for catchers in the youth age and body size range, providing full torso coverage without the gapping at the top or uncovered lower ab zone that occurs when a too-large protector is used on a smaller frame.
This product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.

What is Commotio Cordis and why does certification matter for youth catchers? Commotio Cordis is a rare but potentially fatal cardiac event caused by a blunt impact to the chest at a specific moment in the cardiac cycle. NOCSAE standard ND200-22 certifies that a chest protector has been tested to provide meaningful protection against this risk -- making the CPN33 one of the most protective options available for youth catchers, where this certification is increasingly required and recommended by youth baseball and softball leagues and governing bodies.
How does the CPN33 Youth differ from the CPN32 Intermediate? Both protectors share the same full chest width six-piece cardiac pad, memory foam ab padding, detachable groin protector, and NOCSAE ND200-22 and NFHS certifications. The key difference is size -- the CPN33 is 14.5 inches for youth catchers, while the CPN32 is 15.5 inches for intermediate catchers ages 12 to 15. Always size based on the individual player's body dimensions rather than age alone.
Does the CPN33 include a groin protector? Yes. The detachable groin protector is included with the CPN33 youth size and can be attached or removed based on personal preference and league requirements without affecting the performance of the main chest protector.
