"If somebody is shooting slugs at you at ten feet, you would be wise to move". Got a good chuckle out of that.

As an anethetist working on a Level 1 Trauma team, I take care of a lot of GSW victims in the operating room. It's pretty remarkable how survivable most wounds outside the area covered by these vests are... Since most big city shootings are with pistols, you would dramatically increase your odds of surviving in the event you do get shot while wearing one. I bought one of these and look forward to testing wear-ability and comfort in practical clothing here in Hotlanta.

You forgot to mention you can slide rifle rated plates in pockets on front and back to bump up the rating to Level 4

I wear this everyday for work as a federal security officer in Washington DC. My company only got me a level 2a. This is definitely worth the price and piece of mind.

Sorry the lake in front of your house dried up.

"Zero Penetration but... (wince) quite painful, I'm afraid"

Just ordered my own today. As a gas station cashier who works nights in CALIFORNIA I gotta say it's worth every fucking penny

I don't know if I would even want to survive that shotgun volley. Talk about PTSD...dang!

I’ve worn level lllA for years and that was the minimum for my employer. Definitely shown here the product is very capable of making sure you live during a firefight.

Also on the website this armor was not advertised to stop rifles, but they do have a module rifle plate you can change in and out and it does work with the concealed vest.

Glad I found this video, been looking into this vest for my EMT job and looks like it's pretty good

Three words come to mind”Blunt Force Trauma”

They have level IV icw rifle plates that can be used for this if you are worried about rife rounds. Great review.

Just ordered the bundle last week. It comes the ceramic plates (not stand alone) and a tactical vest. I've seen other reviews, but it is always good to see I have made a good purchase.

After that shotgun volley.... "You might not be dead... but you'll wish you were" Jesus I can't even imagine.

Oh snap, brought back that opening beat! Absolutely love it

Saved over forty bucks with your code! Thanks!

Its a very nice vest, I've worn it for some very long week and weekends. I am very confident with it.

Before the slug you should have turned the vest around because the front is already shattered from the previous rounds.of course the rounds are going to go through

That's the exact armor I just got, so I'm glad to see a review on it.

I am thinking; If you got shot with a slug at 10 feet away while wearing body armor, you're probably going to wish you didn't survive. At least at first. LOL

Just ordered my vest today with and got fast shipping can't wait to wear my new comfy vest on duty. Great video thanks for putting it to the test!

No flinch on the empty chamber of the .44 mag. My man.

Even with armor could you imaging how bad it would hurt to get hit with a slug that close? It would probably still be lethal if it hit just right.

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 inches. 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.

Why don't you just load your mags with 1 round when doing these tests?

"If it bleeds we can kill it". 💀

Love the video and quality with great descriptions

I find that the sizes run small for what you’d expect. I’m 5’11” 170 on a skinny day. I was supposed to be a small, but I usually wear large clothing.

I've heard mixed bag reviews on them all over KZfaq, reddit, etc. Not being NIJ Certified, but being NIJ accredited. I've been on the fence for their products for quite some time now.. this video helps.

I own this and I highly recommend purchasing it

I absolutely love your 300 blackout toy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

used your discount code and saved $59.90 thank you

7:33 Love that Facebook picture hahahahaha

Blunt force trauma from slugs can kill as well. Zero protection from that. Product is good quality and I have one from a couple years back.

Nice JM pro, mine runs like a cheetah on cocaine. I put over 1100 rounds through it before I got a malfunction and it ran cheap Walmart bulk pack right from the box.

If the geese start honking, and a guy in a boat floats by I’m going to loose my shit.

he took all of this shoots like a man ! not even single word !

Thank you for this review and test.

Can you make a video on the brave European guy who build guns? It really destroys any “you can’t build guns” argument anti-gunners use

I just got my guard card and I plan on doing CQB cert class. I plan on workin school and helping protect little ones.

Nice to know it can take 7 slugs, but I don’t know if I could take 7 slugs!! The internals are just screaming!!

Great Review as always!

iv been running there IIIa+ for about a year now for work. it takes a WHILE for it to break in, and the carrier it comes with is trash. i went and got a safari land carrier and it made it fit much better and concealed better. All tho depending on your body type it might not conceal as well as a fitted set of armor.

Looking at the Billistic Armor Levels I need a 338 lapua.

u shot the armor many times before using the 300 black out

Cool video. Great to see it stops buckshot. Would love to to see how it fairs against 10mm Extreme Penetration rounds.

Mr. G& G. Thank you!

Comment for the Al Gore Rhythm.

Good video Mike. Thanks.

Dang......looks like you need a little 🌧. Poor Geese.

I have the fras vest paid a pretty penny for it but it was worth everydime.

"Prollum solva" = Instant Like

Have you seen any information regarding the Stealth Armor Systems Hexar system? It seems to live in obscurity and there are some name issues regarding the guy who seems to be in charge. I guess he used to be involved with the dragon skin project.. I can’t find any real information besides some old forum threads

I counted 2 pass through for the slugs

I have my vest on now!!

I'm a neurosurgeon. I've treated GSW patients quite a bit.

Woot woot 👍🏼🇺🇸

So Far, So Good!

Where are you shooting today? It looks like Vegas, if so where was it?, if I can know.

What about 5.56 green tip? A very common round

Just bought the package deal for myself and my son. He will get the level 4 plate carrier with added side plates and I will have this setup. They say you can level 4 this 3a+ stuff with steel plates. What type would I need, will they fit the conceal carrier, and steel in front or behind soft? Might be a stupid question to some, but I've never worn, and have only been shooting for 7 or 8 yrs now.

Have you ever tested any of cati armor level 3+plates or tactical scorpion level 3+ or 3a?

I think the force of a shotgun round on that vest might still kill you with internal bleeding.

Any one else think level 3a vests(with the exception of more body coverage and comfort) are still viable for protection? I'm just curious because it seems with the more and more use of rifles by criminals, it would be much better to get atleast level 3 armor when plates are getting lighter(UHMWPE, ceramic, anything but steel). IMO with the price of this vest, one could get level 3 UHMWPE plates and a plate carrier for roughly the same cost and weighs similar.

Hey my man, what vertical grip was on the Kobalt Kinetics AR??

is a good vest

please review the ShotStop Duritium III+pa plates!

You give a good review on the walker xcel is there a reason you don’t wear them?

Rubber dummy took it like a champ!

300 BO sub sonic being used after he pretty much destroyed the vest with the 5 slugs doesnt say much. I think if he shot the 300 BO SS before the slugs then I can most likely accept it will penetrate.

Kindly test 22TCM

If you use two plates, both level IIIA soft armor, in conjunction, how much can you stop???

All of a sudden in the desert from that lushy green environment..? :D These armour tests are always interesting. I used to wear one type or another for about 2 decades and saw them evolve quite a bit. In the FDF I often wore a 90's style full combat body armour with ceramic plates AND the entire battle gear on top of it.. Really restricted the use of the rifle and especially anything tossable since the shoulder pieces hinged you down when throwing.. It weighed like 30lbs/13kilos for f*** sake.. and the battle harness was another 30lbs. plus the rifle and that 2lbs./kilo helmet on top.. xD Funny thing is though that after all these so called "tactical" stuff thrown at these vests all it takes is an old hunting rifle to slice right through it.. And from a good bit of distance as well..

Do they come with two panels? Is there a red body armor insert in the back of the vest as well??

Tis not concealable, but it is damn comfortable.

Can you but a different bulletproof plate in the vest

i have been hesitant in buying the 3a plus because it seems more like infomercial. what took the slugs and the few rounds on this didn't compare to their and other videos and i will agree with the the other comment it has been a nonstop text and email bombardment of you need to buy now.

If only they would fix their website, I've been trying to check out the site since black friday but it won't load

Didn't you do this a bit ago?

Im catching on to a pattern of all these pew tubers uploading the same content one after the next lol. You guys are competitive!

Looks like you're in my neighborhood.

I really want a “Problem Solver” but here in Cali, the G40 is for Law Enforcement only.

This is equivalent to a huge muscular dude hitting you with a sledgehammer in the chest without breaking the skin. Lots horrendous bruising, shattered ribs and concussions, beats being penetrated though. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can it stop the five seven? Speedy little round might have a chance...

Well the only issue is u shot it like 30 times before using the 300blackout

Do you think you could put a steel plate or ceramic plate in front of the flexible armor is there enough room for both of them

looks good but ... Made in china? Hope there's good quality control ... 0:31

Will this vest hurt less then regular 3a?

Is there an insert in the back as well or just the front?

Question I was thinking about getting my wife a Glock 19. It will be her 1st gun, she has shot my Beretta Apx and she handled it well. I am not a Glock guy for say put I do like all the accessories you can get, what do you all think

What is the softest/less recoil shotgun out there as of today? After shoulder surgery shooting my Benelli supernova feels like I my arm will fall off.

Will they ever have anything in stock?

Sweet

And if the perp misses the vest?

What type of shotgun was he shooting?????

Are these front side and back or just front armored?

Didn't get a notification

Is it true that you charge the companies that you review 5-10% of the sales off of that product for the next 3-6 months after the review?

Aren’t these made in China?
