I'm hoping manufacturers are making NOCSAE chest protectors for females, but as far as I can find the requirement is a NFHS and NCAA Baseball rule, but not softball as far as I can find.
As far as fielding masks ...
They don't prevent concussions, they prevent broken noses, eye sockets, and teeth.
I forgot that the NOCSAE chest protector cert was only for baseball. Wonder why they aren't testing them with softballs. Possibly because it would create two different manufacturing standards?
To the original question though, CPs are standardized and certified now, but they weren't a few years back.
Thank you for making that last point!
