If you guys look on this website, cheaperthandirt.com you can find this vest called the "flaktarn" flak vest or something like that, it has kevlar inserts rated up to IIa protection, and you can throw some thick metal sheeting or something for blade protection. Just an idea. Or you can just pull out the inserts and use them for something else. Oh and did I mention it is only 50 dollars????

I don't think I'd trust a website called "cheaperthandirt."

I'm just saying.

I have bought many items from them, it is just a surplus store online.

Some people are afraid to eat cheap sushi. I think that I would be afraid to wear cheap kevlar.

Yeah... level IIA is not that great.

Oh yes, I don't think that I was very clear. I meant to say that you could use it to supplement your preexisting armor, or if you don't normally wear any, it might be better than nothing. But yeah, I would never rely on it.

cheaperthandirt is a decent company, I have some russian rifle bags I bought from them.

but "Cheap" & "body Armor" in the same sentence made me chringe as well.

IIa isn't great, but it isn't bad either. Better than nothing, that's for sure. If anyone has access to a firing range, I think this is worth checking out.

I can't find it on the site, links would be nice

I would rather see guys running around in IIa than in a polo shirt.

Just sayin'.

@Sparrow: the problem is the minute you shoot a vest it's a total write off. So firing at one on the range is a expensive pospect.

SH, that is something I'm contemplating. The plastic armors I'm developing should be repairable, and I'll be ballistic testing the repairs as well.

That is, of course, if my testers move just a TAD faster...

i wear my armor for just basic protection and looks but when the bullets fly they will face the diamond spirit.

diamond spirit > F=ma?

it's his technique....don't you do your' homework?



physical/spiritual.

no not on you people just on the on the criminals

Actually ML's armor is tested against a .22 LR

was it reusable after that ML?
