When
comparing weights...
Please
be aware that we quote ACTUAL weights for a normal size Medium
vest, ready to wear.
We do NOT play the artificial "weight loss" games
you may encounter elsewhere, such as quoting the weight of an
Small, Short, WITHOUT an outershell carrier.
We
recommend buying a vest based on weight AND coverage area, not
just weight.
All that
extra coverage does weigh slightly more. If you buy a vest based
just on weight you are likely losing coverage, or buying a vest
that just barely passes NIJ standards, instead of passing with
a significant over-performance.
The special moisture wicking 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...

A bullet stopped by the vest still hits like

Ballistic Soft Pack
Panels
for Test Shooting
If you
would like to see how well armor works, nothing beats inspiring
confidence like shooting one yourself.
A ballistic
panel (half vest) that did not meet our strict standards for
Police Surplus vests. Not to be relied on for protection of
life, but great for test shooting.
You would
want to have a suitable backstop for the vest. 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.
