Safe Life Defense Tactical Vest

After 6 months of putting Safe Life Defense Vest through the grind, I felt I could honestly give a review about how it held up.

[@XH1tokiriX]

“Dachief “ 😂😂😂 nice touch brother

[@curtmaas68]

the kitchen is a nice touch

[@Zurtle1]

I will definitely be getting this after I get the inserts for my uniform carrier!

[@razorseal]

Very nice review! Keep them coming!

[@junee4076]

Great review!

[@geniusliving8606]

Just purchased the vest In a large without the plates. Planning on adding my own. What standard soft panel plates do you recommend that won’t kill the pockets?

[@whatsupdude]

Thank you for the review. The shops that make vest carriers in the Chicago area are trash. Really considering on trying this carrier

[@dachiefofficial]

Shoot me an email , we could set you up nice

[@kevinmatthews371]

I'm also tryna try this out, hard to find any vest shops near me that aren't way out the way, here in the poconos it's a small area

[@OGCJ10]

@@dachiefofficial do they have these vest carriers in a store ? (Chicagoland area)

[@dachiefofficial]

@@OGCJ10 yes they do and our body armor panels

[@OGCJ10]

@@dachiefofficial Awesome. What location?

[@vincenthall8124]

How much do use that vest, does the velcro hold up, some people had problems with not sticking due to taking it on and off

[@ccardothedonmusic]

Hey sir can you make a video as to where you gwt your holsters for your vest

[@moviemac7718]

Great review and great looking vest. I'm thinking of buying one of their concealable vests but I'm not sure what size I need

[@shinobi-no-bueno]

They have regular and short sizes. Are you fatter and shorter than him? Taller and skinnier? Have you looked at their buying guide? Sizing chart?

[@moviemac7718]

@@shinobi-no-bueno I'm shorter than him but a little chubby in the stomach area. Last summer i bought a vest without the panels to test the fit and it felt too small and it was riding up quite a bit.

[@Ship-security]

What about departments that require a uniform shirt concealable armor only?

[@trucks-n-guns4878]

Also is it supposed to be tight around your body or a little loose because when I put the side panels in it creates a small space between the vest and my body.

[@raymundescauriaga8080]

Sir question. Got my vest. Getting a problem with the shoulder straps getting too close to my neck. Any advice on adjusting that?

[@jerrymarble214]

It’s better to put the steel plate Behind the soft armor because it can keep the bullet from ricochet into you or another officer

[@gunnarthorsen]

The subtitle says that you're going to talk about how the vest held up after 6 months but you didn't, you just described the vest and its features. I'm about your height and weight, got the large, it fit fine except that the back sides of the armholes stuck way out no matter how I adjusted things. Safe Life suggested an extra large instead, which seems counterintuitive, hope it fixes the problem. The sent me a return label, then sent the replacement, coming soon. Good customer service.

[@TheSkinnyMechanic]

I really like this setup, the only thing I was concerned about is if it rides a little too low in the front, does it fit so that the plate insert will ride in the proper location compared to a traditional plate carrier

[@dachiefofficial]

zmbisniper when you add plates to the carrier, it should fit perfectly centered on your chest

[@danrugbyman]

My thought exactly. These vests look great except it seems like the top of the plates or vest is never as high as it should be on whoever is wearing it

[@trucks-n-guns4878]

And will it shape to my body overtime,and should i wear it snug or a little loose?

[@trucks-n-guns4878]

How do you prevent it from riding up when u sit down?Mine does that and I have a small-short.

[@dolphgonzales4196]

Where did you get those Add ons ?

[@gungotdamnfreedom]

I needs to get 1

[@TheEndtime60]

Are they three individual pistol mag pouches or is it a triple mag pouch?

[@pricketts35]

Hi I am seeking to acquire the tactical level IIIA+ - I am 5' 9"/10" - 265lbs - what size should I get ?

[@fariseomartinez9998]

Blackout black name tag on the back is provided by Safe life defense?

[@ju-pa]

How durable are the velcro straps on the sides? If want to take everything off my duty belt and get it on my vest, will the straps hold while in a foot chase or trying to apprehend a suspect who is resisting?

[@dachiefofficial]

J P i run and jump fences with my vest. Never had a problem

[@preparedmindstrongspirit5724]

I don't like the lack of side plates or side MOLLE for my IFAK.

[@TheOneOnlyLuther]

What size is ur vest

[@SurRonnie]

How's the side velcro hold up

[@aaronlester684]

Nice kitchen

[@alquitorianojr5055]

How tall are you bro? I’m about 5 foot 4 but I have a long torso if that makes sense but I’m thinking a medium. I know for sure I can not order the medium short because I want the vest to cover my stomach area and stops right about my belt line area.

[@dachiefofficial]

Al Quitoriano Jr i am 5”10

[@staygrinding3817]

What size is that vest?

[@nevada_bioinformatics426]

Were they able to make that patch on the back for you? It looks pretty sharp!

[@Firef8ter343]

Nevada_Bioinformatics from what I’ve found out they can custom make it any color

[@nicholasschneider1714]

Is that a badge holder on the top? If so, what is it called. Nice review!!

[@michaelbalance98]

That's the RTI system from G Code.

[@bwuk2007]

The police tag you have on the front of your vest is that just drag handle name patch with "police" written on it?

[@dachiefofficial]

Yes , that is correct

[@jamesburnett6268]

Will standard soft/hard armor fit in this vest?

[@dachiefofficial]

James Burnett yes

[@Official_Sketto]

Great review but I must ask was this paid for?

[@dachiefofficial]

Sketto I don’t get paid for none of my gear reviews.

[@Firef8ter343]

What type or brand magazine carriers are those?

[@dachiefofficial]

Firefighter343 by Gcode

[@dachiefofficial]

Gcode

[@KevinMcMullen.]

👍

[@dylantaylor2661]

Are these 6x8 side plate capable?

[@dachiefofficial]

Yes , if you prefer that size.

[@jackbrightside]

what size plates does this take?

[@dachiefofficial]

jackbrightside 10x12 plates

[@jackbrightside]

@@dachiefofficial ordered em. Thanks mate, was looking into affordable carriers and almost went with some airsoft quality shit (Condor) til I found this carrier and watched reviews like yours. Cheers, and stay safe out there.

[@dover1966]

Im 220 5'8 lean not fat i think im going with large short

[@dachiefofficial]

That will fit you well

[@SirGlockALott]

The advertising for IIIA+ Side Armor Panels 6" x 8" is very misleading. I purchased 2 sets and all 4 panels measured 4"5/8 x 7"1/4. The weight on Safe Life Defense website says 0.5 pounds for a set. The actual weight is 13.1 ounces for cut down versions of what they advertise as there 15% more coverage.

[@robertsantiago8380]

the velcro on the vest sucks after 4 months it started to wearout so you will have to contact safelife or buy molle straps from amazon ant 12 bucks just to keep it wraped round the body

[@dachiefofficial]

robert santiago we offer a 2 year warranty and i rarely have any issues with our Velcro straps . Send me an email. We will get those switch out for you. 🙌🏼
