Follow-up to my question about softball

A few months ago I posted a question about what should I wear to protect myself while playing softball. My cardiologist cleared me to play as long as I protected my device (my PM is on the right side). I finally ended up purchasing a catcher's chest protector. I played this position the whole season and it worked out well. I tripped once scoring in a game but landed on my knee and not my chest. Still, it would be idea to be able to wear something when I am at bat that can attache to my shirt. Does anyone know of any sports gear that is made specifically to protect the chest other than a catcher's protector?

Pick up some Sorbothane running shoes inserts. Get the kind that run the full length of the shoe. Patch the pair in a sewed pocket of a t-shirt. Sorbothane REALLY absorbs shock.

The EvoShield A100 Chest & Back Guard is exactly what you are looking for. We sell this at my store and my son wears one for his travel baseball team.

Hi NC sports Mom.

There is a product out on the market specifically for pacemaker protection. It's called Paceguard. It has been used for sports or other daily activities, Their website is www.paceguard.com. I know people who have used this and have had great results. Good luck.
