Safe Life Defense Tactical Uniform Carrier | Unboxing & Initial Impressions

Initial impressions on the Tactical Uniform Carrier by Safe Life Defense.
.
Just got this carrier and armor as I'm transitioning to a different department. I'm 6'0, about 220 pounds and ordered a size large in black with level IIIA+ armor inserts. For specs check out Safe Life Defense's website.
.
Any questions feel free to ask. I may do an update in the future showing it fully loaded with my gear and then a status update after some time has passed while wearing it as a full time police officer.

I just ordered mine. Same one but I was told the size chart they use is inaccurate so fingers crossed I guessed Right .

[@williamjames8924]

I drink Black Out coffee because it supports 2A!

[@baddriversofthenorcalarea500]

It has been one year, I request the update video.

[@johnnaron4325]

They do make the 3A+ sife panel and I highly recommend

[@TantoBrownBear]

I do have that now. It'll be in the update video, whenever that is.

[@anthonyholbrook1026]

Just got one, same style uniform carrier with molle. How is it working out with pouches and tazer attached? Thanks!

[@TantoBrownBear]

As of yet I haven't had a shift with it. I attached the taser mount, radio pouch and admin pouch. Once it's all set up and I get some time with it, I'll update. Feels good though

[@bonecoldfleasaustin]

I have the LVL 3A+ one. I have a radio pouch, a utility pouch, flashlight pouch, mace pouch, and mag pouches attached to mine. The pockets are tiny, hence the utility pouch for notebook, phone and such. Love mine. Very comfy.

[@jimmyrogue7817]

I would like to your setup. Maybe I second video!

[@gregorycharles4972]

does it have a slot to put a trauma plate?

[@TantoBrownBear]

Nope, one of the downsides. You'd have to get one sewn in.

[@franciscofausto1378]

is that the NAVY BLUE or the MIDNIGHT BLUE color?

[@TantoBrownBear]

That's the black one.

[@XCaPTainClipzX]

So you can’t insert plates into the Uniform vest?

[@TantoBrownBear]

When you say plates do you mean a smaller hard plate?

[@XCaPTainClipzX]

@@TantoBrownBear Yes like level 4 ceramic plates or even The FRAS soft armor plates

[@TantoBrownBear]

@@XCaPTainClipzX nope, no slot for a hard plate. If you wanted to be able to insert a rifle rated plate, you'd need to get an additional slot sewn into the carrier.

[@AKAKILLINGKING]

It’s been a year show how it’s set up sbd how it held up

[@TantoBrownBear]

Yep, gonna do that soon 👍

[@basicinfo5504]

Just over 2 years...how's it holding up?

[@TantoBrownBear]

Holding up well besides some wear and tear where it rubs against a rifle mag every day. I keep putting off that video. I'll get to it eventually.

[@NayokeHenji]

​@@TantoBrownBearI've worn it as security patrol for about a year myself. held up not bad. no buttons have popped off or anything and that center pocket is a life saver for my work phone, constantly pulling it out and putting it awayfor work duties. breast pockets are about what you'd expect on a uniform shirt, if not a tad smaller.

[@wooddawg4868]

Get the side armor

[@TantoBrownBear]

I have it. Just didn't have it in the video.

[@mahgoubmagdi1981]

What color is this?

[@TantoBrownBear]

I got the black one.

[@thegregshow1761]

Is it 10x12 capable

[@TantoBrownBear]

Per their website it is, but I haven't fit tested any other soft armor or plates besides their own.

[@anthonyzuccaro1]

What’s the verdict on this?

[@TantoBrownBear]

I'll be making the follow up video soon. To make it short and sweet: Pros: Adjustable size and nice fit, comfort, clean appearance. Cons: No pouch for higher level trauma plate, chest pockets are very tight (only going to be able to fit notebook or business cards), I wouldn't mind a little more molle in strategic areas, and I'm having some wear where it comes into contact with my rifle mag. Overall it gets a pass, but there are some changes I'd make if it were up to me and some features I've had in past vests that I missed with this option. I'll go into deeper detail in the video.
