Reviews

Absolutely love it! I was

"Absolutely love it! I was a bit skeptical at first because I thought I was gonna get scammed, but it actually came through to me. In a a decent time frame too. The vest fits great and I've already tested the bullet reistance. VALID! Definitely shop with them."

— QT J. (5/5)

Amazing Deal/Amazing Quality

"For the price, it can't be beat especially for solid body armor for under $300. It's ready to go, out of the box and you can depend your life on it rather than not having any at all. Super comfortable, it's quality stuff with keeping in mind it's not $1000+ so don't expect the best of the best quality in terms of stitching etc. It'll last just take care of it and save up for some better body armor in the future to have another back up! Can be worn inside or outside uniform etc."

Q&A

I see the vest is 2.5 - 3 cm. Is that the front and back together? How thick is just 1 side? I did not see how much a large vest weighs. Thanks
The thickness is for one side. The large vest would be about 4.5 lbs.
Is there a guide for how to measure? The chart lists chest circumstances for both back and front, but a circumstance should be all the way around. The numbers given on the chart seem fairly small. Where is length measured to and from and is there also a stomach measurement which might be different from chest.
Great questions. We don't currently have a guide on how to measure your body for this. For the front and back circumference, that would be the width of the front and back respectively. The length is measured from the top of the vest (where the shoulder pad is, not including the adjustable strap length) to the bottom of the vest. The vest does have some adjustability in circumference. We will see what we can do about getting an updated/clearer sizing guide.
What rifle panels fit this carrier if i want to upgrade? Thank you
Hello. This carrier is not a rifle-plate carrier. Since it was meant to be used with the panels that are part of the carrier, we do not currently have any recommendations.
You sizing chart is unintuitive to say the least, no height or weight and circumference is all the way around not front and back. Telling everyone to refer to it probably lost you quite a few sales. That being said 185lbs 40in chest 36in waste what size should I get?
Based on your build, would lean suggest size Large.
If I want to upgrade the plate to a higher level, which plates will fit the this carrier?
The inserts in this soft armor vest are not removable.
Is this the price for the carrier with the inserts or the carrier with no inserts?
The price is for the complete vest, including the Level IIIA ballistic inserts.
Will you guys be restocking the XXL size anytime soon?
Possibly. Don't see any PO's in our system at the moment.
Too bad there's no attached video, showing the ballistic coverage of this vest. Also, listing the ballistic material as "PE' isn't very helpful. I'm guessing polyethylene?? I had understood that for ballistic coverage, you needed ultra-high density stuff.
Correct, PE is polyethylene.
My measurements are 49in chest and my belly 47 and I am 5'8" 230lb what size would I need. I noticed you don't have short or regular sizes like some other manufacturer have. The problem I have with my current vest is a regular and it pitches my love handles between my belt. Please give me a response as soon as possible.
I'd lean towards the 2xl option.
Dors this come with the level 3 inserts already?
Negative on the level 3, it has IIIA.
Do you have any guidance on how to select the correct size for the new IIIA concealable body armor?
The team just added a size chart.
Can you provide a sizing guide based off chest in inches please and the length of each size from the bottom of the front to the bottom of the neck curve.
The team just added a size chart.
How about a sizing guide?
The team just added a size chart.
How are these sized? What would be a good comparison to use to make sure one orders the correct size since there are no returns?
Would use the size chart to determine the best possible size for you.
How does sizing work?
We have a sizing chart link on the page now. You will want to use that to determine the best size for your body type.
