Details
The Champro Optimus Champion Plus Chest Protector for Commotio Cordis (CPN32) is a NOCSAE-certified intermediate-size catcher's chest protector built for catchers ages 12 to 15 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 for use in sanctioned high school play. The 15.5-inch intermediate size provides the correct coverage dimensions for developing catchers at the middle school and early high school 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 CPN32 -- 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 catchers at the intermediate competitive level.
NFHS compliance means the CPN32 meets the equipment requirements for sanctioned high school baseball and softball play, so catchers at the junior varsity and early varsity level can wear this protector in competition with confidence that it meets all applicable rules and certification requirements.
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 catchers need to throw down to second, pop up on bunts, and frame pitches through every game situation.
Memory foam ab padding in the lower section of the protector conforms naturally to the shape and movement of the catcher's midsection on every blocking situation, absorbing and distributing ball contact forces across a wider surface area than rigid foam designs -- giving 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 intermediate catchers the flexibility to customize their protection configuration as they develop behind the plate.
The 15.5-inch intermediate length sits in the anatomically correct position from the collarbone to the bottom of the midsection for catchers in the intermediate age and body size range, providing full torso coverage without the gapping at the top or uncovered lower ab zone that occurs when a youth-size protector is used past its appropriate age range.
This product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.

What is Commotio Cordis and why does certification matter? 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 CPN32 one of the most protective options available for intermediate catchers at every level of competitive play where cardiac safety is a priority.
How does the CPN32 Intermediate differ from the CPN31 full-size set listing? The CPN31 listing covers all three sizes -- youth 14.5", intermediate 15.5", and adult 16.5" -- as a combined listing. The CPN32 is a standalone intermediate 15.5" listing for programs and players who need to order or replace the intermediate size specifically without referencing the full multi-size listing.
Does the CPN32 include a groin protector? Yes. The detachable groin protector is included with the CPN32 intermediate size and can be attached or removed based on personal preference and league requirements without affecting the performance of the main chest protector.
