How Well Do You Know Armor?

March 29, 2018 by Graham Baates Leave a Comment

Fortunately body armor has greatly evolved in recent years.  The flak vest is gone and although we’ll never have a cozy place to warn our hands in modern armor, survive-ability rates and comfort have gone way up.  Some of the newest technologies have come from smaller companies who were free of government contracts to develop a better product.  One of those companies would like to hear from military, veterans, law enforcement, and first responders.

If that’s you please take a moment to answer their survey.   https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KKL3LCT

If those categories don’t fit you but you’d like to see some armor tested try these videos:
