Cabasse Youth Padded Chest Protector Shirt, White/Grey, Size Large, Compression Fit with Sternum Foam Panels

This lightweight protective shirt combines contoured foam panels and breathable mesh panels to give young athletes targeted sternum and heart-area coverage without restricting movement. Designed for sports with frontal impact risk—baseball, football, lacrosse and more—the garment layers a protective core beneath a quick-dry compression shell so kids stay cool during play. It’s sized by chest measurement and finished in a white-and-grey colorway that slides under a jersey or wears alone in practice.

How does the chest protector reduce impact during play?

The Cabasse protector uses press-formed foam padding shaped to the sternum and upper chest to absorb and disperse energy from sudden hits and ball strikes. The padding is integrated into a compression shirt so the protection stays aligned with the body when running or sliding.

• Press-formed foam panels positioned over sternum and heart-adjacent chest.
• Compression fit holds pads in correct placement during movement.
• Panel geometry disperses force across a wider area rather than a single point.

Will this shirt stay comfortable during a full game?

Yes—the design pairs protective foam with mesh fabric on the shoulders, back and sides to promote airflow and reduce heat buildup. Quick-dry technology draws moisture away from skin so the shirt feels drier and lighter during extended practice or games.

• Mesh zones across shoulders, back and sides for ventilation.
• Quick-dry fabric wicks sweat for faster evaporation.
• Compression cut maintains a close, non-bulky fit beneath uniforms.

Which sports and situations is this chest protector best suited for?

The Cabasse padded sternum shirt is built for youth players in sports with frontal impact exposures—catchers, batters, lacrosse players, football positions and goalies benefit from the added chest cushioning. It’s also useful in drills, batting practice and recreational play where stray balls or collisions are a concern.

• Recommended for baseball, softball, T-ball, football, lacrosse and paintball.
• Works well for catchers, pitchers, batters and goalkeepers.
• Lightweight enough for practice sessions and competitive play.

How do I choose the correct size and care for the shirt?

Pick the size using chest circumference: X-Small 23–25", Small 25–26.5", Medium 26.5–29.5", Large 29.5–33", X-Large 33–36". For best longevity, wash in cold water and tumble dry on low; these steps help preserve foam shape and fabric performance.

• Size by chest measurement rather than age for accurate fit.
• Cold wash and tumble dry low recommended to maintain padding.
• Includes 30-day returns, lifetime replacement warranty and technical after-sales support.

Who is this for: The Cabasse Youth Chest Protector is intended for parents and coaches shopping for a practical, breathable sternum protection layer for boys playing contact or high-impact ball sports. It suits youth athletes who need targeted front-chest cushioning without bulk—ideal for players wanting mobility, ventilation and a product backed by returns and replacement support. Note: the shirt is designed to reduce minor-impact injuries to the sternum and chest area; it is not a medical device and does not guarantee prevention of all rare or severe cardiac injuries.
