I have been wearing my Safe Life vest for more than two years and the best vest around.

[@bonecoldfleasaustin]

I have Lvl 3A and LvL 3A+ for both my jobs. Love both of them. Both are not too heavy and very comfortable. Just can’t afford the FRAS and neither departments I work for have the the funds for the FRAS. Maybe someday

[@jeffreybonell4641]

Thanks for this info, i couldn’t seem to find it anywhere.

[@richardchang5499]

What about side panels in the front? I have side panels, that i dont use because my vest is a medium. For extra protection.

[@mattconklin4026]

All I was able to order was the 3A, I'm to poor for the FRAS. 😥

[@2gramsofgold815]

I can’t even afford the 3a

[@minkandmatch2547]

Hey at least you're good against most common threats. That's great. I started with a 3A surplus vest that someone else had for a while and slightly smelled like aged sweat that i bought at a gun show for 280 lol

I'm 5ft11" With a 29 Insane So longer Upper body and shorter legs And way about 265 Should I go with a 3X or 4X? I don't want the vest to be too Big Where it's loose on me But I also don't want it to be too small. Where is too much of a gap between where the front and back meat on the sides?

[@0909ttt]

does the iiia+ body armor come with backside protection as well? Or just the front side?

[@user-oy9zy4ds9m]

I asked safeline 6 months ago if this will stop m855A1 haven’t heard back

[@dachiefofficial]

Joe if you are talking about the FRAS, based off that rounds specs. The FRAS should have no problem stopping it.

[@user-oy9zy4ds9m]

Hopefully, but there are videos like this : m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6ineaqhj7OpbNE It shows m855a1 defeating ceramic composite plates designed to defeat green tip/M855.

If you get hit with a certain amount of force it's going to fuck you up regardless of penetration

[@GAMarine137]

Is FRAS stab and taser resistant?

[@gunsandgaming7634]

Yes.

[@StevenTheGamer5]

What plates from safelife defense would I buy, I'm going to start working for unarmed security and idk about plates, what would you guys recomend... The best one and cheap one

[@mark7362]

I'm planning on getting the Rma defense "king of armor" lvl 4 plates at $150 or so each... just expensive 🥵 iraqvet888 tested a lot of rifle rounds on those and they hold up great

[@StevenTheGamer5]

@@mark7362 are those plates the hard ones? If it’s na they are heavy and hard

[@libertyordeath8559]

I work for a security company and have always Head 3A armor But due to a recent situation That happened at work Where my vest would have not stopped What they were using Thank god I didn't get Hit When I go back to work I will be wearing the flexible rifle armor from them

[@Blap552]

​@libertyordeath8559 Sir did you have to engage the threat? I'm really concerned about these plates Printing on top of my 3a vest but I'm going to try them I guess,they're already ordered. 🫡

[@LimeGreenGreenLimeLimeGreen]

Is the black 3a stab proof at all?

[@collectornick4270]

I've heard a ton of good things about this brand and I'm ready to buy a set BUT I have one question before I buy. How come none of their stuff is NIJ certified?

[@breahb8737]

They are certified.

[@collectornick4270]

@@breahb8737 yep, that comment was from before they were.

[@pmorin313]

By adding the ICW plates to the level 3a give you level 4 protection. That said what protection do the plates offer themselves?. I've gone back and forth with safe life about this and they won't answer this. Seems like a ploy to sell another 350.00 in armor. 3a protects up to .44 Magnum so you add the plate and POOF!! your covered against 30.06. AP! I don't understand the ambiguity..

[@USMCKong0311]

Wait, so u put the plates inside these panels and then the panels inside the vests, correct? I’m new to this.

[@dachiefofficial]

Killa-King Kong take the panels out of the carrier, whip them down, then throw the carrier in the wash

[@breahb8737]

6'2 189 should I order a size small

[@dachiefofficial]

I would go with a med

[@robertcourtneyjr604]

Will this fit the condor defender?

[@dachiefofficial]

They should, contact me direct for panels sizes

[@josephcade3541]

Does a 3a pluss need a Trauma plate ?
