Champro Optimus Pro Plus Chest Protector CPN11  

The Champro Optimus Pro Plus Chest Protector (CPN11) is a 16.5-inch adult catcher's chest protector built for high school, college, and adult catchers at every level of baseball and softball who need the highest level of cardiac protection and premium interior comfort technology in a low-profile design that delivers full Commotio Cordis certification without restricting the movement and flexibility that competitive catching demands behind the plate. The low-profile cardiac pad design, multi-density low rebound foam, DRI-GEAR moisture-wicking and BIO-FRESH antimicrobial inner lining, and removable and repositionable shoulder cap distinguish the Pro Plus as the premium tier of the Optimus chest protector lineup. Available at SPC Sports in navy, royal, and scarlet.

The low-profile cardiac pad design is the defining structural feature of the CPN11 -- engineered to provide full NOCSAE Commotio Cordis certification and NFHS compliance through a pad profile that sits closer to the body than traditional high-profile cardiac pad designs, so catchers get the maximum available cardiac protection without the bulk, rigidity, and restricted range of motion that thicker cardiac pad systems impose on throwing mechanics, blocking movements, and the natural athletic positioning that elite catching requires.

NOCSAE Commotio Cordis certification confirms that the CPN11 has been tested and verified to provide meaningful protection against the rare but potentially fatal cardiac event caused by a blunt impact to the chest at a precise moment in the cardiac cycle -- the highest available cardiac protection certification for competitive catcher's chest protectors, required or recommended by NFHS for high school play and increasingly adopted at the college and adult competitive levels.

Multi-density low rebound foam in the protective padding layer uses different foam densities working together to absorb and distribute ball contact forces across the protector surface while the low rebound characteristic prevents the foam from bouncing back aggressively against the catcher's body after contact -- delivering a softer, more controlled impact feel on every blocked ball and foul tip that reaches the chest protector during games and practice.

The DRI-GEAR moisture-wicking inner lining actively draws sweat away from the catcher's torso during play, keeping the interior of the protector drier and more comfortable through extended innings and tournament days -- an important comfort advantage for adult competitive catchers who wear chest protectors through the most physically demanding game schedules and warm weather tournament weekends of the season.

BIO-FRESH antimicrobial technology in the inner lining inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria on the liner surface over time, keeping the interior of the protector fresher and more hygienic through repeated use across an entire adult competitive season without the accelerated odor buildup that non-treated liner materials develop under the same intensity of sweat exposure.

The shoulder cap can be removed or repositioned to match the individual catcher's shoulder geometry, overlap preference between the helmet and chest protector, and personal comfort requirements -- giving adult catchers the flexibility to customize their shoulder coverage configuration without purchasing separate shoulder cap hardware or modifying the protector.

At just 1.31 lbs the CPN11 is the lightest adult chest protector in the Optimus Pro Plus lineup, delivering premium Commotio Cordis certification, low rebound foam protection, and DRI-GEAR/BIO-FRESH liner technology in a weight profile that never adds meaningful fatigue to the catcher's upper body load through a full game or doubleheader.

FAQ

How does the CPN11 Pro Plus differ from the CPN31 Champion Plus at the adult 16.5" size? Both meet NOCSAE Commotio Cordis certification and NFHS compliance. The CPN11 Pro Plus features a low-profile cardiac pad design with multi-density low rebound foam and a DRI-GEAR/BIO-FRESH inner lining with a removable shoulder cap -- prioritizing a low-profile fit and premium interior comfort technology. The CPN31 Champion Plus features a full chest width six-piece cardiac pad with memory foam ab padding and a detachable groin protector option. Choose based on whether low-profile mobility or maximum cardiac pad coverage width is the priority.

What is the benefit of low rebound foam versus standard foam? Low rebound foam absorbs ball contact forces and does not bounce back aggressively against the catcher's body after impact -- delivering a softer, more controlled feel on every blocked ball and foul tip compared to standard foam that rebounds more forcefully against the body at the moment of contact.

Is the shoulder cap included? Yes. The shoulder cap is included with the CPN11 and can be removed or repositioned to match the individual catcher's shoulder geometry and overlap preference between the helmet and the top of the chest protector.
