Dude, that's great.

[@mrRoverkane]

Can definitely see a perk of it for repo / truck drivers lol. Also for land surveying. Things can get sketchy

[@LanThrasher]

I especially like that it does not look like typical body armor. Most would only think it is a typical high vis vest.

[@RefugeMedical]

Right, that is a plus!

[@nkmstfghost4584]

That is absolutely awesome. Shalom.

[@grimlfd2777]

Test it see if it actually holds up to multiple calibers. In the CA bay area, some of my jobs that require the use of High Vis, this vest could come in handy. Solid idea.

[@SpartanONegative]

Every vehicle should have one. In theory it's great 👍

[@justinwinch7325]

Well, it is a vest. Put it thru different caliber rounds? Like ok have this on get hit with, say, a common 9 or maybe does it do well vs a stab

[@Carolynfoodforest355]

Nice, curious about all of that stuff.

[@robertbates5537]

Comfort/Usability plus test actual level of protection

[@TinyTJ04]

I'd like to know more about how being out in elements and being exposed to blood and other bio content impacts the ability of the armor to resist penetration. I think we are going to see a lot more of these "low signature" garments being used. If I didn't already carry something similar (but a lot less reflective) in my truck, I'd buy one. I don't always want to carry or wear plates.

[@12th_C]

Biggest concern with a safety vest is snag hazards. I get that this is a public friendly soft armor option. That said, If it were to be used by people who work with their hands for a living, how fast can it be removed, in the event of a snag? Also of concern would be what happens if you catch on fire, does this burn or does it melt? If it melts then you have just approached the chemical burn territory.

Great questions

[@danielsaxon2206]

For your reviews of this kind of product I would model it after how Honest Outlaw does gun reviews kinda, do two videos, one that’s an initial impression and another that’s like a 100 hr review maybe. In that 100hr total 3 different people with body types wear it and do a total of 10hr’s driving, 10hr rucking, 10hr worn while working trauma scenarios, and 10 of whatever they wanna do with it. All three folks do that and end with what it takes to break one and at the end compare notes and show footage from it. That way folks could see how it fits different body types, how good it is to just ‘live’ in, and how it holds up under use and how long they can expect it to last. Just a thought, y’all rock, God bless y’all!

[@RefugeMedical]

That is a great Idea, writing this down. (Copy and digital note 😂)

[@danielsaxon2206]

@ glad ya like it! Seems like it would be good for EMS in sketchy areas or maybe Grindstone in some cases?

[@ktimmer2]

This could come in handy for a pipeline job we're working on now that goes through some not so desirable areas to say the least. How much does it weigh?

[@survivinginchaos6945]

I can see me wearing it to the grocery store. Crime is getting crazy out here.

[@pierresampedro3645]

After knowing its comfort, it would make sense road crews and like in meny states in orange as a hunting vest. I noted it has a side cover as a concealed armor vest that is good. If it is available in other colors? It would be nice to know if blunt trauma and scurape capabilities of the vest for motorcycle riding i know that leather and kevlar is used in motorcycle racing an added angle also the on and off ease of the vest and weather rain resistance in protection of the kevlar. I know asking a lot because I like it.Shalom

[@paladin1544]

I could see many used for it. I don't think the color for an SRO would be good. It'd make the Officer a big target. They'd just have to aim for the bright color. Change the color and it'd be good.

[@RefugeMedical]

Good copy!

[@mtoto78]

Torture test of course

[@kevinhoke6547]

Motorcycle hivis and added protection sign me up just need a camel pack on the back which I have for hydration

[@jeremyclark3107]

I don't see a practical purpose for III-A vests, outside of law enforcement.
