OVERT BODY ARMOR (RIFLE RATED)

After using, testing and studying body armor for over twenty years have grown tired of the continuous regurgitation of wives tales, misinformation, people who may need armor not owning because either think it too expensive or too uncomfortable. We are not joined at the hip with any manufacturer nor limit our testing to panels we can beg manufacturers to donate. If they wont man up it often means they don't want independent testing as have an Achellies Heel would like to hide. If a Company doesn't help we will do our best to source some of their products and run it through the wringer. One thing you will find, armor is either much more robust or much more fragile than advertised. Its either top line or junk. We hope to help people steer clear of junk. This site is geared toward civilian armor buyers more than departments and professionas but the information is useful for anyone from a homeowner in bad neighborhood, contractor working in threatening areas, cops on the job and even solddiers who want to understand their gear a little better. You will find I have preferences for USGI, British military and U.S. made police grade armor but have used a wide variety of NATO issue kits.
