Safe Life Defense: Shooting Test and GIVEAWAY!

This "bulletproof vest" really takes a beating! Today we are testing the vest against a variety of ballistic threats and giving away a vest for free. Police officers, Security, EMS and public safety workers of all kinds need to have body armor for their protection. This is a very affordable piece of body armor is designed for police officers, security guards, or anyone else who needs to buy their own body armor.
We tested this body armor against .357 magnum, 9mm, .40, .45, .22lr, and 12ga slug. We shot it over 45 times and were very impressed with the results. It is a Kevlar based full coverage soft body armor vest that meets and exceeds NIJ standards for level 3A performance.

I WANT THAT VEST! Hmmm. 3 years later,, worth a try LOL

[@2010Gullwing]

I want that vest!!!!!

[@The_SmorgMan]

I want that vest! Just got hired as a reserve officer, "which means I supply my own equipment" not cheap...

[@freefieldtraining]

+Llane Bowman I hear ya. If you have to buy your own, this one is an excellent choice.

[@pickle6208]

I want that vest. I'm going to be getting into private security, unarmed because I'm 18, and that would be nice to have, it would definitely make my grandmother feel better too.

[@pickle6208]

but if I don't win one I'm definitely saving up for one, that is a hell of a vest!

[@freefieldtraining]

+Clorox bleach it sure is!

[@freefieldtraining]

+Clorox bleach you gotta make grandma happy. They always have a mean cane whacking ability.

[@pickle6208]

oh god don't remind me about the cane lol.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Clorox bleach yoh wohldnt expect a little old lady who needs help walking to be able to hit that hard. But then you say "goddamnit" too close to granny's chair and WHACK.

[@klmay999]

Holy crap what a nice vest. Yeah I'm just now seeing this and the contest is over, but dude, awesome job. Definitely a lot lighter than those thick plates we had in Kabal.

[@LawfulLawFalafel]

I want that vest! Going into my first armed security job in 2 weeks. This would be great to have.

[@rikarod]

Richard S Good luck, stay safe.

[@VS-zy7qy]

[@wyattmoilanen4183]

[@slicksockerdude]

I want that vest! But brand new! 😂 not after it's been shot 40+ times lol. All jokes aside, thank you for your video content. It has proven extremely helpful in my early law enforcement career and security career.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Ryan E The give away will be new. Lol

[@slicksockerdude]

Of course lol. The vest would definitely provide some peace of mind when I'm working throughout chicago. Thanks again, stay safe!

[@freefieldtraining]

+Ryan E Im down here on the sox side. I feel your pain brother.

[@pickle6208]

lol

[@branjeff]

I want that vest! Hopefully going through the academy in a few months

[@freefieldtraining]

Thank you bud. Stay safe out there.

[@froztikilla]

[@branjeff]

Good luck man. Stay safe out there its getting crazy out there.

[@froztikilla]

brandon stockdale yea it is, everyone is so trigger happy, stay safe bud

[@mghegotagun]

About time I buy this thing. Worked security for over 2 years in NYC now. Got by without it up to now only because I worked in hotels with minimal risk. Ever since covid screwed that business, I'm all over the damn place now.

[@HeldVenom]

I would say that I **** that vest, but reading through a few of these comments there are several future cops and security personnel that are going to need this far more than I would. Thanks so much to all of our officers, security, and military service people out there! Looks like I am going to save and get one of these with some Spartan AR500 plates when I can afford it!

[@freefieldtraining]

+HeldVenom Not a bad plan!

[@kyRRrider]

Thank you very much for this review. I recently got issued this vest, I like the way it fits and now feel confident wearing it, thanks!!

[@guisspino2347]

I want that vest! I'm an Emergency Medical Technician working overnights in the NYC 911 system! Even though I often have NYPD backing me up, I'd feel way safer with one of those under my uniform.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Mike G I'd feel safer with you having one too

[@guisspino2347]

free field training took me a bit of saving and a few OT shifts but I just got mine yesterday. It will NOT change how I act at work but I do feel a bit safer. Thank you for the recommendation, these things are pricy I did a lot of research but it looks like this company is top notch.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Mike G I've dealt with the owner quite a bit and I am happy to give him my business as well.

[@Valdepravus]

This video makes me feel so much safer. I bought one of these vests 4 months ago for security work. It is a massive reassurance to see a live example stand up to all of that. Whoever gets that giveaway vest is definitely getting a worthwhile vest.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Valdepravus Glad to hear you are a bit safer brother. Keep your head down!

[@intox69]

"You'd probably be alright"

[@Glenn138horror]

Getting shot hurts. May have bruising but you will survive

[@mrmeatman9948]

I start security at the local mall here in a few weeks. We're permitted to wear body armour as long as it's concealed, so this is great!

[@TXLionHeart]

RIP, that guy's rib cage...

[@tylervanmarter7303]

"Bet they wish they had that in End of Watch". That made me laugh for some reason. Best cop movie ever.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Tyler VanMarter Thats why I left it in. I laughed when he said it.

[@ceb-cs1rg]

I want that vest!!!!!!, for my partner,,, cuz I have one and it's the best......

[@freefieldtraining]

+ceb 5579 gotta looknout for the partner.

[@paulb392]

i have been armed security officer for 5 months now and your vest is a must.... keep the video.s coming.

[@glimtecharms5115]

I want that vest!!!!!!! It sucks having to buy your own gear....

[@freefieldtraining]

+Glimtech Arms yes it does.

[@johnd4348]

So, mechanics buy their own tools. I have over 20k dollars in tool and a friend of mine is a heavy duty diesel mechanic and has over 80k dollars in tools. A cop possibly won't buy more than 2k in equipment and that includes gun, body armor, cloths, boots, everything. A gun can last for a life time. Tools wear out. have to be replaced. Some dionostic tools cost 5000.00 dollars easily.

[@freefieldtraining]

I think you grossly underestimate the costs of the things you are talking about and their lifespans. My pants for work are $90/per. My vest was $1100. Gun with holster $1000. Rifle was $3600. That's not even close to all of it, and none of these things lasts a career. Just like your tools mine don't last forever. I get about 5 years from a duty handgun. That's 5 duty guns in a career, each needs at least six mags.... You get the idea.

[@johnd4348]

Your over spending . Try LA Police Gear. Good quality, very reasonable. My pants only cost 20 dollars. Boots 59$. And really 5 years for a gun. I shoot over a 1000 rounds a month out of my CZ75 and it's still going strong. I have over 30000 rounds thru it. I have a really cheap Siq 22 with over 20k rounds. No malfunctions yet. A Glock only cost around 600 dollars. Should last 10000 rounds easly. A quality rifle should not be over 1500 dollars. Some AR's are in the 800 dollar range. Its not going to be shoot that much to wear out. To each his own.

[@freefieldtraining]

I have to use what is uniform and set by policy. So, I don't get to use knock off's for uniform gear. My gun has a light on it and requires a holster, both add a few hundred dollars to cost. Then they wear out because using something at the range is not the same as training with it...at all. The rifle has an optic, light, and sling on it... So it costs more, lots more. This is my profession. I'm not going to use junk to save money just like you are not going to buy your sockets from harbor freight.

[@dommonte]

I want that vest! Especially after watching this. I'll hopefully be going to the academy in a few months. Great video as usual and it was great to see you dissect the vest after to show what the rounds actually do to the armor and how far they penetrate, I can't say I have seen anyone else do that. Keep up the awesome work and stay safe.

[@freefieldtraining]

+dommonte Well, internet people are usually afraid of reality. Wouldn't want people to know that 9mm isnt the holy anointed round in every way...

[@TheP0NA]

I WANT THAT VEST! I do armed security with no vest in Oakland. #Sup? I need that vest lmao.

[@freefieldtraining]

+P0NA Sounds like you really do NEED a vest brother

[@davidihaim]

Great video! I subscribed. I am not a security guy but do care about home defense. This video is exactly what I was looking for. Conclusions: 1. This is best of its kind. 2. Back Force Deformation can be nasty so it should be worn with a trauma pad or better a solid plate. Thanks again!

[@TheOl1911]

Great stuff! I enjoyed very much! Glad you did the .357mag test. The one pistol cartridge I get a lot of requests or questions/thoughts about is the 10mm. If we were close I would have donated the gear to test 10mm on the vest. The round people are curious about is the one Underwood makes using Lehigh Defense's Xtreme Penetrator bullet. Granted highly doubt there are many criminals out there toting around 10mm's let alone loading them up with Underwood! But hey.... thanks for doing this test/vid. Can't wait for the next one.

[@freefieldtraining]

+TheOl1911 I'm looking into getting ahold of safelife's level3A+ vest and trying to break that. It is supposed to stop the new civil defense 50 gr 9mm

[@freefieldtraining]

+TheOl1911 Ill have to see if I can bust out the 10mm.

[@imakehitz23]

Thank you for the review... Ive wanted to buy one for a while but was a lil hesitant...

[@freefieldtraining]

+imakehitz23 well, this vest clearly works as advertised.

[@NC_WRX]

I want one! I was just going to get a regular plate carrier and plates, but now I'd prefer one of these as well as plates, in case I need the level iv protection (hopefully won't need to rely on the armor at all, but better safe than dead).

[@freefieldtraining]

+Matthew Maenner ain't that the truth!

[@mja9700]

I agree regarding the slug. I also know we hardly hear about 44 caliber being used as sort. Just wondering diameter wise of 44 caliber and slug, by any chance it might make it though. I know for a fact it'll leave a huge painful 😖 contusion. Slug probably several broken rib.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Mannix ja Well a 44 is about 240-305 grain and .44 inches in diameter at +/- 1350fps. The slug we used it .72 inches in diameter weighs 430 some odd grains and was rated at I think 1325 fps. Either way the vest was already independently tested against 240 gr soft point to get the NIJ rating. I wanted to try something fun and new. Plus, 44 mag is god awful expensive to buy in Chicago.

[@millerdust]

I want that vest! Looking for this type of protection for awhile now and my research has shown these to be the best while still allowing the most mobility which to me is extremely important! Really appreciate the demo's!

[@revshareglobal7334]

The projectile won't go through the vest, but the bruising you'll have. Holy shit.

[@WhatsNextKeto]

I want this vest. Great review! All I can say is "wow" this vest is great and I couldn't believe that it took so much. It stopping multiple 12gauge slugs sold me. It should be standard issue for all law enforcement and security personnel. Thanks for the outstanding product review and giveaway chance.

[@freefieldtraining]

+UniqueVaporz 🍩☕👍

[@samuelhorowitz2812]

Hello hope all is well.. . I live in Baltimore, Maryland. And as you know things have changed drastically. My wife ordered me a set if AR 500 multi curve shooters cut level three plus steal plates. I had no clue about trauma plates. And the lacking of coverage. I was thinking on purchasing a level three vest. To get more all around protection. And a little more padding. My question is do I need a trauma pad? Or am I fine with that type of set up? My next question is what company would be the lightest. But still give me the protection in need and want? Thank you for your service. My mom is a retired police officer. So I know what you go through day to day! Thank you for your time and effort. I Thank the Lord for your tatoriols on UTube! Many prayers and blessings to you and yours. From me and mine! Stay safe my friend!

[@randallstephens8273]

I really want that vest! The idea of the quick plate insert being at the top side of the vest is an awesome design! As an armed guard, pistol instructor, veteran, and father/husband; this vest would most certainly make me feel confident that i will come home at night. Also since i am pursuing a Law Enforcement career; i feel like this vest would be more than capable of doing it's job and be comfortable on a 12 hour shift. Very impressed on the durability and can't wait to see what else is in store for the future of Safe Life Defense!

[@freefieldtraining]

+Randall Stephens me too.

[@daedalx]

The shotgun slug would kill you on impact, it doesn't need to penetrate. .17hmr and .22wmr polymer tip will penetrate that vest.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Al Maurikan lol

[@rjoyner55]

I want that vest! Doing unarmed security in the Oakland and SF and hopefully starting my LE Carrerr soon.

[@tofubear1920]

I was looking at this vest but it seem kinda cheap, but after watching this video, I'm buying one. Thanks for the video!!!

[@andynguyen_88]

I WANT THAT VEST!! I'm about to go into the police in academy in June. I absolutely love the feature where you can just slide in extra plates when you need it. And talk about peace of mind knowing you're wearing such an ppe.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Andy Nguyen That's what I'm saying! I wish I could wear it at work.

[@andynguyen_88]

Does your Department not allow it or something?

[@freefieldtraining]

+Andy Nguyen we get issued armor and are required to wear it.

[@andynguyen_88]

If I may ask, have you given this vest away yet?

[@freefieldtraining]

+Andy Nguyen I'm going to film the give away the last day of April. The announcement will be on Instagram that day and the video should be up within a day.

[@robertsperbeck6920]

I really need this Vest ,unfortunately doing security work, several years ago, I got shoot, lucky for me I survived the injury and had fully recovered.

[@twilliamsusmc]

I want that vest. Not that exact one but,a new one just like it. I seen one on the web sight that's also stab resistant. That's the one I'm thinking about getting but, it's like over $400.

[@daviddominguez1415]

I want that vest! As military retired I can definitely appreciate a good vest. This looks to be way better than what I was using on law enforcement back in 85.

[@bluetunder40]

That's freaking impressive 👏 I want that vest 😍.. I just saw this video .And I just ordered one ,Definitely won't be testing it like you guys did .lol Hopefully I never be on the receiving end of round either, But these crazy time working in NY more and more people waring them ,have to say ,.

[@fireberserker4659]

Thank you for your videos they're full of useful knowledge. it is very hard in the field of security my objective is to return home to my family every night in the same condition as when I leave home.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Zumar Reddick That is an enviable goal right there!

[@PHARRAWAY]

I need that vest! doing security work in school got shot once already Thank You

[@freefieldtraining]

+pharraway ugh, that sucks. I don't normally get shot at unless it is midnights on new years and I make the mistake of driving around.

[@PHARRAWAY]

stay safe, it's not fun let me tell you

[@diablozer0d617]

I want that vest! My husband is a soon-to-be LEO and with the current attitude toward officers and their families it'd be a nice peice of mind.

[@freefieldtraining]

+diablozer0d617 well, hopefully his agency will be buying him a vest.

[@chipblair1108]

Great demonstration! Showed exactly what this can handle. I am good am going to start having my student check this video out who are looking into this kind of protection. Thanks!

[@freefieldtraining]

+Chip Blair We are shooting their level 4 hard plate next week and I'm hoping to get time to hit another of this same vest with all copper 12ga slug and. 44 mag as well. Had I known it would do this we I would have brought some stronger stuff to hit it with.

[@chipblair1108]

free field training, that's great can't wait to see those results.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Chip Blair I can't wait to shoot stuff👍

[@mja9700]

You're the expert. I honestly believe you. Good job bro. I really would like to get me one of these vest. We have both ballistic and knife/spikes in our department. During transportation of inmates we switch to ballistic and in institution just the regular knife/spikes.

[@freefieldtraining]

well, that sounds like a pain in the ass. Bad enough having to wear one vest. let alone switch.

[@johnnyboy6583]

really good review brother I just happened up on this video I do private security you don't seem any armor testing videos this simple but yet in depth I like it alot I have currently ar500 hybrid 10 by 12 plates with the 6x8 side plates but would like something like this also four more concealed look now I'm going to look into them because of this video I appreciate you brother be safe out there

+Lance Robbins You do the same. I camp at the yogi bear just south of you all down in Plymouth every now and then.

[@protectyourrights9963]

free field training spent plenty of weekends camping there as a kid...lots of great memories at that spot!

[@skip123davis]

great vid man. i have a sheriff's deputy friend, and we shot up her old vest one time. impressive results. um, ya know: you could have bought TWO boards, ya know. just sayin'. impressive grouping, though. 357 is the one to watch out for, so i'm glad you included that as well. pretty amazing for a mere $400. if the shtf, this would be a good thing to have.

[@freefieldtraining]

+skip davis First time kit doing this type of review. I'm sure we will make some changes next time. Normally when I shoot body armor it just gets hooked to the carrier at the dept range and shot at all lethal weapon style.

[@danieljablonski3612]

I want that vest!! Awesome video. Never thought it would have stopped that many rounds.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Daniel Jablonski me either. I had a hard time breaking the thing.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Bryce Carroll 👍👍👍

2.54 minutes in after shooting the 45acp. When the vest pops up from the 45 you will see a hole in the wood.

[@billygeorgakopoulos2277]

Does the vest IIIa+ meet NIJ standards and why haven’t they got certified ?

[@hashbrown6347]

I would absolutely love that vest. My current vest is super stiff around the neck and I got it as a Christmas present last year.

[@freefieldtraining]

+hashbrown all vests are uncomfortable. Till shots ring out. Then it feels like a warm blanket that doesn't cover your feet in the winter.

[@hashbrown6347]

[@freefieldtraining]

+Kyle Felix Happy to help brother. Good luck!

[@flexk9]

Thanks and take care!

[@MrTacticalwolf]

Is the blauer armor skin compatible with this by chance?

[@MUSTANG408W]

Would love to have one when I visit Panama. Crime has gotten way out of hand down there to the point you can get mugged & shot dead in broad daylight on a crowded street and people will just keep walking by your corpse.

[@freefieldtraining]

+MUSTANG408W wow. So, cross that off the vacation ideas.

[@grappler185]

I know it's been awhile since you made this video and you may have already answered this, but I'm not familiar with a "trauma" plate. Is that another level of ballistic armor, or is it something that just spreads out the felt impact. Thanks for the no BS approach to your videos.

[@roguegalaxie8792]

I want that vest. This was a very good, clear video and setup, and that is a beautiful Hi Power! I think this is the video that final sold me on the safe life vest.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Matt Fourcade I wouldn't hesitate. Excellent armor.

[@thelinebacker43]

[@freefieldtraining]

+thelinebacker43 👍👍👍

[@davidtoof7933]

Do you have to replace the vest after you get shot or is it still good until you get money enough then replace it.

[@Jwillrocku2]

i want it! looks pretty easy to wear, some of the vest are just not flexible too stiff. and the slugs Surprised me!

Does your department allow you to change the sights on your duty pistol?

[@samuelhorowitz2812]

Oh and can you get any discounts that I could use. On the product you recommend.

[@Timthetwin]

have you personally worn this vest on duty. I start the academy soon and need to purchase one before then, and this seems like a great first option. thanks and keep the content coming 👍

[@freefieldtraining]

+Timth3Twin I have not as it doesn't fit in the vest cover I am required to wear. I have worn one for side jobs and such. It is thicker and heavier than my $1100 level 2 vest, but it is also less than half the price and stops more.

[@lamarlogan9184]

How do you size it though I'm 6 foot roughly 300 pounds need this vest for work

[@frisk151]

Still down with SafeLife? As I said, I own a few for the family.. This is 7 years old... Would be cool for you to do an update..

[@dabe4506]

Would have been great to have had a weigh-in before and after. See how much lead that thing caught.

[@starfixer]

I want one. Heck I need one... Looks to be an awesome vest at a fair price. Current LEO. Great review and good no nonsense assessment. I hope the one you all are looking to giveaway is not the test vest :) but hey even if it is it is still better then none at all.

[@freefieldtraining]

+Nelson Green yeah, no doubt about it.

[@mistrfusion5080]

Hey, uh if you ever do a video like this again. You think you could try safeguard clothing and shoot it? www.safeguardclothing.com/ (Again only if you ever plan to shoot a vest again just an idea) There are reviews on this one but no body ever shot it

[@freefieldtraining]

+Nelson Green If they want to send it to me I will do a fair and honest assessment that will include shooting it the same way I did this one.

What is the weight of this vest if I missed it? Thanks for the help in advance!

[@PureH2GO]

Where's the hole from the rifle round in the sheets of yellow?armor?

[@freefieldtraining]

+Nate Hensley It was hard to see even in person. That rifle round is pointed and only 0.3" in diameter. It just works right through the layers of Kevlar fabric. I wish I had thought to zoom really close and show it.

I want that vest! I'm very impressed at how well it took those shotgun slugs over and over without any trauma plates!

[@freefieldtraining]

+SilencedMi5 Yeah, you aren't the only one. I really expected it too go through after the second slug.

I want that vest. Currently in EMT school and with the ways things are going these days, its not just cops that need armor

[@freefieldtraining]

+Donovan Corcoran I agree.

I have a question , I watched youtub ,many people purchased body armor from Wish L3 only cost $30 to $100 range , What do u think of those Cheap Body armor? Thank you

If you use this vest every day. Do you always keep a Level IV plate in the back or just use one in the front for when the need arises?

[@freefieldtraining]

+Eric I use a plate carrier to be able to don both plates without taking my vest off. But throwing a front plate in is a low cost and effective solution that at least covers you going in the door or holding a corner on containment from the area of greatest threat.
