Safe Life Defense Tactical Carrier 4 month review

Review of safe life defense molle tactical body armor carrier over last 4 months of duty use. The good, bad, and the ugly. Molle laser cut, rifle plate, soft body armor, police, sheriff, security, military carrier

[@jackbrightside]

Almost bought a Condor until I saw your review on it. Then I heard you say safe life was almost perfect. Researched that and just ordered, perfect for my price point, and it seems they addressed the concerns you had. Reduced the pull straps length in he shoulders and improved the Velcro quality.

[@wooddawg4868]

Shoulder strap on neck issue for me was canted outward left and right, bam neck rub gone. Velcro issue you can get money off on replacement by calling them and offer them old vest back for evaluation and discount.

[@12azsfinest]

100mph tape on the shoulder strap so you don’t get hung up brother, stay safe! They also have Velcro tape you can utilize as well

[@Joseph-kc5zv]

I have the level 3A + panels with the blue outer carrier and I have some similar problems to me only the panels are worth the money the carriers are shitty in safe life so I went and got a good one on Ebay for $74 and I have it now going on 3 months

[@TheEndtime60]

I just bought one, so hopefully they have improved, LOL

[@v3nomz349]

So what are you wearing now That beats this vest ??

[@brianf7087]

Amazon has a quick release side cumber bun that I put on mine

[@Blackwolffe097]

1. What vest model is it? 2. Is it comfortable when sitting down & getting up when wearing your duty belt I am looking into the Tactical Enhanced Multi-Treat Vest Level IIIA+ for my security job. We have to wear stuff like that & we also use ATVs to patrol the grounds.

[@policegearreview3078]

This is the safelife defense tactical carrier it's definitely comfortable, held up just fine in a foot chase

[@polecatfan1627]

Damn! ATVs for security seems pretty cool.

[@Blackwolffe097]

@@polecatfan1627 Its because its in the woods. We also have pickups but they can't go far like ATVs

[@polecatfan1627]

Phantom67 still pretty damn cool in my opinion

[@maridialo9386]

Is it stab resistant

[@dvx0050]

If you get the 3A+ panels which are stab and slash resistant

[@litozzz6791]

Best size? Get my size or a bit bigger ?

[@jasonpajewski1482]

You’re from the Chicago area; how would you compare it to JG Uniforms’ outer vest carrier?

[@policegearreview3078]

I love JG stuff, it's the only place I go for uniform. The problem is the chicago PD outer carrier approved by general orders is not a true weight bearing carrier. Only place the weight goes is on the shoulders, cummerbund is supposed to distribute that weight. Which is what cpd outer carriers don't have

[@jasonpajewski1482]

policegearreview gotcha. I’m using JGs right now. My vest will be expiring within the year. Looking for some input. Safe Life is intriguing but that price tag makes me suspicious.

[@emolookinkid448]

Try looking into other vest manufacturers around here. Fitore Uniforms, Tri Taylor and Eagle Uniforms I've heard plenty of good things about. I have a Fitore now, I just dont have enough mollee to move more shit off my belt.

[@dachiefofficial]

I'm from the Chicago area, did you purchase a new vest.

[@007Vaughn]

I just got this carrier in the mail, but my armor is delayed since its coming in a concealable carrier from safe life defense. Im disappointed in this tactical carrier. The bottom of the front of the vest is a good half-inch longer on the left side compared to the right. Also, the shoulder straps are way too long. I'm a big dude at 6'4 and 270 lbs. There is no reason I should need to interfold the shoulder straps so much to raise the vest to my clavicle notch. And having all that extra material flapping around on the back of the straps looks like shit. Im sending this thing back with a request for a better made shoulder strap system. Good video bro.

[@greensheen8759]

Maybe you got the wrong size? I got the concealable vest and it felt like no matter how much I shortened the shoulder straps it wouldn't fit well. Turns out I actually need one size larger and it was riding up on me because it didn't fit around my waist well. They're sending me a replacement atm

[@007Vaughn]

@@greensheen8759 I found out I ordered the wrong size. SLD is fixing my order at no cost to me and I'm very grateful. My previous comment was ignorant and they're a great company in regards to customer service.

[@greensheen8759]

No worries, I get you though. They don't fit like regular clothing do, I was really upset when mine didn't fit for how much I spent on it either

[@Baranox]

Hey Vaughn, what size did you end up going with on the return? I have a similar build to you and have the exact same issue with there being too much length in the shoulder straps and I really don't want to fold them up to get it raised properly.

[@michaellee5702]

Did you just get the carrier or did you get the armor with it?

[@policegearreview3078]

Just carrier, I used pint blank armor because that's what I was issued

[@ar0nfrombx21]

My velcro is worn how can I get this fixed? Will safe life exchange ?

[@renegade7493]

Yes

[@allisonbrowning6070]

Get ahold of the claims Dept the will replace the whole carrier!!!

[@RemanentSphere]

I heard the carrier itself is slash/stab and blunt force resistant? Is this true? I cant find any info on the materials used. Hows it it lv.4 plates? Any other suggestions for plate carriers instead of this if this isnt quite the best one for me? Ive been looking at spartan and ar500 carriers as well.

[@policegearreview3078]

This is a great budget carrier, there are several manufacturers making carriers but at a $200 higher premium. For some that might be worth it. This one is constructed really well and I'm sure it will help with some blunt trauma and maybe slash but I HIGHLY doubt it will stop stabs and anyone determined with a sharp weapon. Regular heavy duty nylon vests in conjunction with kevlar have stopped a knife before but I wouldn't put my life on the idea without a certified rating starting it will (this one doesnt have one).

[@RemanentSphere]

@@policegearreview3078 thank you for the info. I appreciate it. And I will need to look into the best idea for this I'll let you know what i come up with and see if I cant get your opinion. Thank you again.

[@calebupton4023]

Their level 3A÷ is stab and slash and will stop up to 5.7FN .... the 3A is only slash resistant and up to 44 magnum if I'm not mistaken ... I wear a 3A+ Tac uniform carrier it is the stab and slash proof version and I love it ! I just got it 2 months ago and the new velcro seems tough.

[@mattb12341]

They should replace it I think if the Velcro failed already.

[@anakinmiller5421]

Dose it come with foam pads in it?

[@colinbucci]

yes
