@@jryker28 It was a clusterfuck of stubbornness and bad management. The company thought they could strong-arm the military into buying them with the media by playing the victim, which didn't work. It didn't get picked because the tech was immature, unreliable against AP, and there were glue and ceramic quality control issues. Dragonskin relied on a pliable glue that hardens when left alone, and flexes when manipulated. Besides the infamous temperature issue, people found out you can push aside the disks in a given area by manipulating individual disks. Then it failed a second time because the owner didn't want to sell it to anyone who couldn't purchase in bulk, and also started fights on forums, writing cheques he couldn't cash in military communities, which is why people lost sympathy in him. Then it failed a third time because there's simply no interest in the product anymore, even after it was made available to civilians. All the people who said they would buy it simply didn't. Now Dragonskin is dead and its derivatives are just as obscure. FRAS isn't new, there another flexible system called "Hexar" made by Stealth Armor Systems, which is EXTREMELY similar, created by the inventor of Dragonskin after he split from Pinnacle (the original company that produced Dragonskin).

That is a FAR CRY from "rifle rounds of any kind". Use your fucking eyeballs and look at the monumental jump in price from an already expensive lineup. This armor is marginally better in some areas but worse in others than what's currently on the market. You can buy two III+ or level 4 plates (which offer more protection) for around 200 bucks from most companies (sometimes including the plate carrier and trauma pads). Add in side plates (if that's something you want) and what you have is a slightly bulkier and slightly heavier package at a FRACTION of the cost.

If it's bad you could wear a trauma pad or some padding underneath. There are products made to be worn underneath soft armor for this purpose. There are some really cool flexible foams that do a great job of absorbing a blow, but I wouldn't usually want to wear a vest of foam since it's very insulating and not breathable. Might be fine in cold weather. But you'd wear what you have to if it keeps you alive. If you collapse from blunt force trauma when a vest catches a bullet it's not functional and you need to use something to prevent that and keep you in the fight.

Why are vests always so short (like cut-off belly shirts) though? Seriously. I'm asking. I honestly don't understand. And I've never just asked anyone before. Haha. So yeah. Why are they not formed more like (or atleast closer to) say a jet-ski life vest.... Which covers more of your torso, yet still doesn't really inhibit most movement or range of motion? Could anyone please just help explain this, or try to provide some sort of a simple understanding, just about how or why most vests are so "skimpy" or minimal, so to speak? Thanks. 🙂👍🏻

The armor ends at one of the main hinge points in your torso. You can't have rigid, or even semi-rigid, armor that goes below about your belly-button line without seriously impacting your ability to move. If you look at ancient and medieval rigid breastplates, they also end at the same place and usually have some kind of flexible armor skirt or semi-rigid armor that flares out (called a fauld) to protect the lower abdomen area. Even if it could be made bullet resistant, something like that would not be concealable and almost certainly impractical in a modern combat environment.

I find it very troubling that on the website, it doesn't even tell you if it's ceramic or ballistic fiber, let alone what it's made of.

Great vid, as always. Subbed.🤘💪 Ive been looking for level 4 with a chest rig. Im comparing the Safelife, RTS, and DFNDR level 4 plates. I dont want steel due to spawling. Ive watched your other plate comparison vids and tests as well. I want something that stops common AR 556/223 green tips and AK 7.62x39 and works with chest rig, possibly Crye Airlite SPC or Ferro Concepts slickster. This soft armor is amazing but....the price 🤯😳🥵 What would you go with between those other 3 plates?
