Police Surplus
are police contract overruns, or perfectly good vests that may have
been returned for various reasons: fitting changes, officer transfer,
expired warranty, new Police Department vest contract, etc., etc.
"Old
Armor Tests as Good as New" according to NIJ research on
10 year old USED armor. So 5 year old UN-used (or lightly used) armor
is as good as new at stopping bullets.
We screen all
vests to ensure that there is absolutely no Zylon,
and then we grade the condition according to the chart below, and
back it up with our "Bullet-proof" Satisfaction
Guarantee
- NIJ 01.01.03
or 04 / 05 Standard Level
II-A, II and III-A –
what most police officers wear.
- FULL-wrap
side protection (unless requested otherwise).
- Made
in the USA or Canada by Safariland, Point Blank,, PACA, etc., etc.
- For $15, you
can add a Soft Kevlar® or Spectra® Blunt
Trauma Pad
Made in the USA
...or occasionally Canada

not be comfortable wearing the vest for our personal protection,

Sweat-Wicking Undershirts
The special
Dri-Release® or CooMax® fabric wicks sweat away three
times faster than cotton. So sweat evaporates faster, and you
stay a little cooler -and a lot drier - under your vest. Plus,
you don't have to wash your vest as often...

“NIJ tests
failed to demonstrate any significant differences in 10-year-old armor,
regardless of the extent of use or apparent physical condition”
“The warranty
exists solely to limit the manufacturer's liability on the product and
is not a reflection of the anticipated service life of the product.”

To see for ourselves, we held the
“11-Year-Old
Vest Shootout”
Click
for PHOTOS 30k
We
shot an 11-Year-Old, Level II Vest with four, 9 mm
FMJ rounds, plus 00 Buckshot, from 24" (61
cm).
The
deepest penetration was not even halfway through!
Would you like
to test-shoot VERY old Police Surplus armor?
If you'd like to test-shoot
an old vest to see just how good old armor is, one one of our heavily used /
beat-up panels is just $50. It has always stopped 9mm FMJ, and .357 Magnum JSP
for us.
