Champro Optimus Champion Plus Catcher's Set CBSN3I  

The Champro Optimus Champion Plus Intermediate Catcher's Kit (CBSN3I) is a NOCSAE-certified complete three-piece catching gear set built for catchers ages 12 to 15 who need a full head-to-shin protection system that meets the NOCSAE standard for Commotio Cordis (ND200-22) and complies with NFHS rules for sanctioned competitive play. The set includes the Boss Catcher's Helmet, the Optimus Champion Plus Chest Protector, and the Optimus Pro Leg Guards -- all sized for intermediate catchers with a large helmet fitting hat sizes 7 to 7 1/2, a 15.5-inch chest protector with Comfort Tri-Flex harness, two adjustable shoulder caps, and a detachable groin protector, and 14.5-inch leg guards with high-performance PE shin plates and cantilever lining. Available at SPC Sports in five colorways -- black, light grey, navy, royal, and scarlet.

The Boss Catcher's Helmet delivers 10% greater peripheral vision than most traditional catcher's helmets through a hockey-style ABS shell with improved ventilation openings and optimized geometry, so intermediate catchers can track pitches, see runners, and read developing plays around the infield without the restricted field of view that narrower traditional designs create at the middle school and early high school competitive level.

The AirTech ventilation system creates active airflow channels that allow air to circulate through the interior of the helmet and escape through the shell during play, while the fully wrapped multi-density pad lining provides a cushioned, comfortable interior fit that accommodates different head shapes within the large 7 to 7 1/2 hat size range through extended game days and tournament weekends.

The Optimus Champion Plus Chest Protector meets the NOCSAE Commotio Cordis standard ND200-22 and NFHS rules -- the highest available cardiac protection certification for competitive catcher's chest protectors -- with a full-chest six-piece cardiac pad that maximizes cardiac zone coverage without restricting the arm movement, shoulder rotation, and throwing mechanics that developing intermediate catchers are actively building through this critical phase of their athletic development.

The Comfort Tri-Flex harness distributes the weight and load of the 15.5-inch intermediate chest protector across the back and shoulders through a flexible, multi-point connection system that moves with the catcher's body rather than fighting their mechanics -- keeping the protector in the correct anatomical position through every crouch, throw, block, and pop-up without the harness shifting, pinching, or requiring mid-inning readjustment.

Two adjustable shoulder caps are included with the intermediate chest protector, giving catchers and coaches customizable shoulder coverage that can be positioned and adjusted to match individual body geometry and personal preference for the amount of shoulder overlap between the helmet and chest protector.

The detachable groin protector provides additional lower coverage for intermediate catchers and can be removed based on personal preference, league requirements, or individual comfort without affecting the performance of the main chest protector.

Memory foam ab padding in the lower section of the chest protector conforms naturally to the catcher's midsection on every blocking situation, absorbing and distributing ball contact forces across a wider surface area than rigid foam designs -- giving intermediate catchers a more responsive, natural-feeling block that protects the ab zone without the jarring stiffness of non-memory foam alternatives.

The Optimus Pro Leg Guards feature high-performance PE shin plate material that delivers improved flexibility and durability without any added weight -- allowing intermediate catchers to move in and out of the crouch, block balls in the dirt, and explode into pop-up throwing positions naturally without the leg guards fighting their mechanics or adding fatigue-inducing mass to their lower legs during long game days and tournament schedules.

The cantilever lining system minimizes impact transference to the shin by suspending the hard PE shell away from the leg on the impact side, creating a buffer layer that absorbs and disperses ball contact forces before they reach the shin -- protecting intermediate catchers from the bruising and sting of direct shin contact that increases in frequency and velocity as players progress through the middle school and early high school competitive levels.

This product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.
