Hey guys DD used this gear last year and was looking for another set for Christmas and it seems they don't make it anymore, am I wrong? If it's not available what's everybody hearing good things about? Thanks in advance.

It seems Wilson is liquidating their inventory, along with the shock FX 2.0 helmets, so my guess is yes... I bought a navy blue helmet a few months ago at 50% off. The pro-motion gear and FX2.0 helmets are now 60% off at the Wilson website, if you are willing to buy royal blue, scarlet and other non-black colors.

In addition to the FX 2.0 helmet, I bought the All-Star System 7 helmet, chest protector and leg guards. My DD love them, as they have a lot of padding. I think she will end up using the Wilson helmet as her backup. I really bought the Wilson helmet because they were practically giving them away at 50% off...

Yes, they seem to be phasing it out. DD loves her Wilson gear and there are some GREAT deals on Wilson's site on it while supplies last. I bought enough for DD and DS to get them through several years.

Wilson quit making the Promotion gear a year ago.They are going to the L/S gear now for Fastpitch. :( The Promotion gear is better quality than the L/S gear if you can still find any? I'm hearing that a new L/S catchers gear are in the works? :)

Glad I bought a couple extra Shock FX 2 helmets back when they went on sale. My daughters like them better than anything else out there.

Hopefully LS uses Wilson R&D for their next set of catchers gear. The current stuff blows!

Agreed. One of the biggest disappointments about LS coming under the Wilson umbrella is the extinction of Wilson catcher's gear.

DD will have to wear LS sponsored Catcher's gear this summer. At least it will be new. She likes her All star gear but the one of the straps on both leg guards have torn off. 4 years of use. Not so bad. We are at a cross road now. HS provides crappy gear to wear(all black-team colors blk/ylw)and TB will be providing new crappy gear. DD doesn't really need to buy new gear, as long as she stays with her current team. But you know there will be a time where she will need her own gear for certain things. What to do?
