Initial Thots - Safelife Defense Concealable IIIa Vest Review

A "non-shill type" opinion video of the Safelife Defense Concealable IIIa soft vest.

[@kgthompson5814]

I got this this vest because I'm required to have certified armor that can be concealed under my uniform and didn't want to go 2 to cheap. Thanks for the review it helped me pick it out.

[@AbeMangum]

Thanks for an honest review. Make this guy a star algorithm

[@riflemanm16a2]

Thanks for the no BS review. I have been looking at the RMA Contego (OEM Slate Solutions), of which there is nothing online except one video by IraqVeteran8888. But this looked like a slightly cheaper alternative with lots of reviews. I'm wondering if that Premier Body Armor Discreet Executive vest is better than both for concealment though. It's even more expensive and lacks the overlapping side protection, but it looks like the least bulky.

[@bamahi7142]

You probably have the wrong size. Just saying.

[@Z.the.G]

Solid content, very genuine. Hope you are doing well when you read this.

[@Venumousll]

I wear a compression shirt on top of my vest it holds the vest very close to the body and gets rid of the "bulges." and allows better concealability.

[@Venumousll]

But I also wear an Ethos lll 3 A vest from GH Armour. Its FBI and DEA certified/Complient.

[@CalebBlock]

Thanks for the review!

[@ihatedeadw8]

Love this guys attitude with life 🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@airmax6887]

2 years later and it’s the #1 rated bullet proof vest lol

[@TheQuantumPotato]

Is that the fucking original Insurgency mod theme music? Based if true.

[@superzero4250]

(17:13) The USA Nuclear Bombs in it’s Arsenal are made in the USA, with ZERO doubt, however, Uranium or Plutonium is sourced elsewhere. Made in the USA usually means assembled or put together (hence manufactured) in the USA. The actual armour panels reads that it is manufactured in Nevada (hence the date), which means made in the USA. But it is possible that some materials are sourced from outside the US. Contrary to unpopular belief, everything is not indigenous to the US… 🤔

[@jessesfuntimes7187]

For sure, but it's a good rule of thumb for me when buying body armor to buy plates or panels that say made in America. The same with medical gear.I get it; we're all ballin on a budget, but Caveat emptor and whatever. Either way, thanks for watching.

[@stephenkraynick8314]

I think its a fair and non biased review. Everyone is different in their own situation. I've worn it as PMC and guard and will say I've never had anything puncture it from bottles, shanks, knives, ice picks, etc. I personally havent been shot wearing it, and hope i never do. But your comments and concerns are valid. Is it alittle bulky, yep! Is it concealable; those that know know and let it at that. I dont think your wrong in your dissertation. I wear it alot in my job as a HS teacher, and sometimes it does stand out. But then again 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan, those that know know.

[@joeythethrifty]

The iiia panels are finally nij certified for that ballistic rating, although the spike/stab rating on their iia+ is not. They claim the rifle rated one is in the pipeline for nij approval.

[@Chilloutmusix]

Just ordered mines last week, arriving tomorrow I kinda wish it had some stab resistance on the panels but sadly not. But it’s worth the money. Need it for my job as a Seasonal Park Ranger so I’m looking forward to wearing Safe Life Defense.

[@ablegrow5427]

is this the Hyperline Level IIIA & HG2 ?

[@foreverraining1522]

I got made wearing the SLD IIIA+ vest at a protest. Now I'm thinking about getting the Miguel Caballero tank-top vest. I need something more discreet. Safelife defense is not very concealable under normal clothing.

[@timkc1638]

No their product is not very concealable at all. It’s overpriced as well imo. I stick with atomic defense and love their product. Good service, well priced, American made and privately owned.

[@justindilio5008]

What size did you get?

[@kyleschoeppner5468]

does this vest come with plates or do you need to get them separately?

[@jessesfuntimes7187]

You have to buy them separately. The vest comes with the front and back ballistic panels and the carrier itself.

[@narrowpath2980]

have you considered Premier Body Armor ?

[@324amgela]

Wat size you bay your

[@narrowpath2980]

What is your shirt size and what size armor did you purchase ?

[@jessesfuntimes7187]

My shirt size is a large, and I bought a large vest. Going back today to the website, they added a height/weight thing for their size chart, which also recommended a large.

[@patricklc53]

Which plate carrier did you get to wear with it and do you recommend it so far you seem to be the most honest reviewer on this shit and I like the lack of glizzy gobling

[@jessesfuntimes7187]

LBX Aramtus II. I'll probably do a review on it soon.

I love this.

[@Zurtle1]

Consider moisture wicking clothing.

[@irontale1834]

I'm a cashier and been thinking about getting one because I work in the hood. Can you wear a baggy sweater for me why wearing it plz

[@jessesfuntimes7187]

A baggy sweater will work, but you're going to sweat... a lot.

[@irontale1834]

@@jessesfuntimes7187 ok, thank you brother ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ

[@Zurtle1]

@@irontale1834 not if you wear the right clothes. Get a 30$ moisture wicking shirt and you will be a ok.

[@adonian]

lol "big fat LARPer" I'm kinda fat and wanted to see how well this armor fits... Thx for this video, I have IIIa soft panels and want to get a carrier... Now I will be ordering from Safelife. I already have a tactical carrier, I just want concealed so I can go places (Zoo, Sea World, my kids school etc.) and be covered all the time.

[@kgthompson5814]

I am also a fan of Rainbow 6 - 3

[@HowardLuken]

These guys showing themselves with the armor they're not putting it on and showing how difficult it is trying to get it adjusted and you didn't show putting the plate in. I'm sitting here looking at the same vest and getting ready to record myself fighting it to get it adjusted properly.

[@ihatedeadw8]

The Velcro straps come off broo... like completely

[@HowardLuken]

@@ihatedeadw8 I know, the thing is completely impossible to adjust if you're not built like a special forces commando... kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3fYnmVvoZKAb6M

[@morningstar8018]

We use these at the casino where I work in Vegas they suck they are hot and do not conceal at all almost everyone has stopped wearing them Try wearing one under a uniform it sucks balls

[@Kingz_Ireen]

Is the one you got the stab resistance? The soft armor 3a*? Been thinking of getting one for work but worried about the concealment

[@Kotzabaldiris]

negligent discharge while running

[@Pistolero-]

Boycot Safelife defense. They do not own up to mistakes. Manager just repeats what his script tells him to say. I had a poor fit and they strung me along until I could not return it. I even have emails from them . After looking at my photos showing them that there recommended size is too big. They still wouldn’t replace it.

[@supernovahk19]

Thanks for the info. I was about to give them $600 for a concealable enchanted multi-threat Liii and was worry about the returning/exchanging due to size misfit. The website mentioned of 30 day window for size exchange, I wonder why they failed to honor it? It’s always good to hear from the consumer.

[@Pistolero-]

Yeah I even have emails from one of the representatives commenting on my picture saying that “it clearly looks too big.

[@Tetristactical]

Anime territory ;) please indulge

[@woodencoins808]

Just tell people its an icepack vest for health conditions easier to explain

[@foxtrotnovember2564]

$550!! Fuck that just shoot me.

[@Tetristactical]

Can’t put a price point on your life 550$ if probably what you’ll spend in 3 months on monsters

[@timkc1638]

Safe life is grossly overpriced product.

[@desert4seat]

Ya think? What would you recommend that isn’t grossly overpriced?
