Police Surplus 'Bulletproof' Vests at a Discount

Level II Body Armor Vest - Front

Police Surplus Body Armor $ 190 & up
See below

In concealable, police-style 'bullet proof' vests (or more correctly bullet-resistant vests) we offer a superb value in Police Surplus vests:  Previously Worn, or Refurbished to look Like-New, police vests.

Not "cheap imported vests on sale", NOT made in China, but quality U.S.-made vests that are in good condition, inexpensive, ready to wear, and a great value.   Police Departments are legally obligated to only use vests under warranty with an insurance policy - so even though a 5 year old vest is typically still perfectly serviceable, they are retired.

"Old Armor Tests as Good as New" according to NIJ research on 10 year old USED armor.

The Wound Channel on YouTube hit one of our older Level II Police Surplus vests with a Level 3-A sub-machine-gun - 9mm at over 1,400 fps. Still no penetration, even though Level II is not rated for this threat!


We inspect and process all vests very thoroughly, we:

      1. inspect all vests to remove heavily worn or damaged vests, (and ensure that there is absolutely no Zylon)
      2. deodorize the ballistic panels with VestGuard
      3. wash the outershell carrier
      4. replace elastic that has lost it's snap

...and back it up with our "Bullet-proof" Satisfaction Guarantee

Our bottom line is - if we would not be happy wearing the vest ourselves, we won't sell it for Body Armor (it goes into the "test shooting" pile).


Made in the USA

Panels for Test Shooting

NOT FOR PROTECTION OF LIFE OR PROPERTY

Heavily Worn or Damaged

If we would not be 100% comfortable wearing a used vest for our personal protection, we sell the panels for test shooting.

One stripped down ballistic panel, NO carrier, and NOT usable as a vest.

If you would like to see just how well armor works, nothing inspires confidence like shooting one yourself.

You need to have a suitable backstop for the vest to test properly. A concrete wall is too hard for a valid test, and can make a good vest fail. Swinging free in the air can let a bad vest pass.

So a punching bag or other semi-soft backstop is ideal for "field expedient" testing.

$ 25

for 1 panel (half vest, no carrier)

Upgrade Options

Sweat-Wicking Undershirts

The special 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...

How Good is Police Surplus?

Old Armor Tests as Good as New
– NIJ Research

If you would like a copy of this NIJ Research Report, just email

“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

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!
