EvoShield Womens Youth

Purchased three of these, two came in yellow envelopes with the shield vacuum sealed like it's supposed to be, the third one showed up in a stress free package? The shirt was tagged as if new, but the the shield had already been exposed to air and had taken shape. I was either sold a used shield, or someone pulled it out of the packaging and shipped it that way, or something else, I don't know. I do know,that I don't have time to send it back for a replacement, softball practices are live, so one of my kids is wearing a (new?) but compromised shield. Buyer beware.I'm contacting the product manufacturer as well. This is not going to work, and I will be requiring a product replacement ASAP. For the other two shields, spot on - love them. Very upset about the open box shield though... Not cool.

Overall, I believe the product would help protect a childs chest area. My complaint is that after one wear and single wash, the seams on each side became unraveled. For the price, I do not believe this should happen. For reference, my daughter is a normal size 7/8, we ordered small and it fits but is pretty snug.

A great purchase! Make sure you open it when you are ready to mold. My daughter opened it without me knowing and it hardened without being able to mold to her body. I was able to heat it with a hairdryer to mold it. The fit of the shirt is great as well! My daughter plays fast pitch softball and is not bothered by this under her jersey.

The shirt itself was fine, However, the product shield had already been opened when item arrived and couldn’t be formed to my daughter for fitting. Had to end up going to the sporting goods store and buy the whole thing again. Very disappointed.

We have been using these for 5 years now. They last until you grow out of them. Very easy to install and remove the guard piece. And is convenient to wash. Does not stretch out the shirt like some people say. That is not true.

Overall this is a great product as we have bought multiple, unfortunately for this experience appears to be a shield that was opened and formed prior to purchase. So good product; poor merchant.

This product came without the chest guard.

My daughter age 10 has been wearing this for the last 2 softball seasons. She has been hit multiple times in her chest either by errant throws or by ground balls/bad hops. Not once did she ever complain of any pain; I don't even think she notices when she gets hit in the chest. However I gave it 4 stars. Case in point - I was at a softball game last week and I saw a 12 yr old get drilled by a pitch on the side of her chest while batting. She went down and had to leave the game, crying. Was told she was wearing the Evoshield heart guard which brings me to the one issue I have always had with this. Although it does protect the center of the chest, it does not extend out to either side to protect the entire chest. I noticed this with my daughter - and yes she has the right fit which is suppose to be snug. I wish it provided more protection to the lateral chest/rib areas!
