DISCLAIMER I DO NOT THINK I'M IN DANGER AND NEED A VEST AND I WON'T BE WEARING ONE TO WORK.
I'm not looking for the "Pfft you don't need body armor" comments. Don't post them.
This is merely looking at opportunities. I only own a flack jacket and no real ballistic protection. I am into guns and stuff and almost bought my own body armor anyway.
That being said I still might want high vis or the navy/black carrier.
But I would like to hear about any pros and cons of buying it (such as spending a few hundred and not using it, I'm aware). As far as body armor goes is this a good company and a good deal if one was looking to buy it anyway?
----
So we can now wear body armor. In fact we are offered a one time discount from Safe Light Defense.
iiia and iiia+. 2 different kinds of vests.
I like pockets to I want the one of the bottom two. But I'm not sure if I want the high vis in case I'm not trying to be seen later. Don't ask me what I'd be doing sneaking around in body armor, just a habit to think of tactically advantageous situations. High vis would be nice if I say, don't want to be hit by a car and for some weird reason am kitted up. Don't ask me why I would be.
If I do end up going to another company (that might require body armor or be in worse Situations) or go LE, some places don't supply body armor. Might be good to already have a vest that fits
Thoughts on the company and vests offered?
They have a guarantee of the vests fitting and if you're shot, they'll replace it. How good are materials. Is the company well known?
Is the weight going to be much different between iiia and iiia+?
The first response with iiia+ was $569.00 and is $376.75. The iiia is 301.75.
All vests can be broken down into 4 payments.
The concealable one was $499.00 and is $324.25. At iiia it's 249.25.
Helpful or thoughtful responses?
