My daughter seems to have outgrown her first set of gear this past spring jumping from 5'2" to 5'6". She's hardly thin at 120+lbs but not filled out either. Helmet/shins never seem to be an issue finding, but the chest never fits right and w/her moving up to 12U this fall, and likely on a travel team for the first time I don't want to risk a poorly fitting chest piece. Also trying to decide if I should be looking at growth potential or just good fit for the now? She's only 12 an is likely to grow quite a bit more in the next 1-2 yrs(dr thought she could get to 6').
Any suggestions on brands/series of catchers gear? I'm trying hard not to spend 300-400 as I've already bought her a new glove(80.00) a new bat w/the right stamps(120.00) and promised her a 2nd bat w/the correct stamps when she makes a travel team likely (200-300.00).
I've researched Boombah, Schutt, All star so far, but it's hard to find reviews on Schutt, and Mizuno/AllStar seems seems as if they can get costly quick. Are any of the wilson/rawlings/easton gear worth looking at?
