Rip vests/ Flac jackets?

Question

Hi, this is my first time asking a question here :)

What do you think about rip vest/ flac jackets? Ive been thinking about getting one, since lately Ive been getting hit in the rip/stomach, and I dont like that feeling (obviously), and I would like some pretection there, so I was thinking about getting one, something simple like this one:

I know there are alot of them, probably better, but I tried this one and its soft and light, nothing too fancy.

But the thing is that I will probably play Deffensive End, so I dont know if the vest will limit me to get in the stand, so what do you think about it?

Thanks

Answer 1

for a DE?  Skip it.  My coach only let QBs, WRs, and DBs use them when I played.

Answer 2

if it effects your play in a negetive way than ur better of without it, plus if u play defensive end ur the one that will be doing the hitting. So in other words " QUIT BEING A PANSY *** *****"

Answer 3

You should get a vest or a compression shirt with built in pads.
