Police Surplus
are police contract overruns, or perfectly good vests that may have
been returned for various reasons: fitting changes, officer transfer,
expired warranty, new Police Department vest contract, etc., etc.
"Old
Armor Tests as Good as New" according to NIJ research on
10 year old USED armor. So 5 or 10 year old UN-used (or lightly used)
armor is as good as new at stopping bullets.
We screen all
vests to ensure that there is absolutely no Zylon, and then
we grade the condition according to the chart below, and back it up
with our "Bullet-proof" Satisfaction
Guarantee
- NIJ 01.01.03

in the USA or Canada by Safariland, Point Blank, Pro-Tech, PACA,

Sweat-Wicking Undershirts
The special
Dri-Release® or CooMax® fabric wicks sweat away three
times faster than cotton. So sweat evaporates faster, and you
stay a little cooler -and a lot drier - under your vest. Plus,
you don't have to wash your vest as often...

“NIJ tests
failed to demonstrate any significant differences in 10-year-old armor,
regardless of the extent of use or apparent physical condition”
“The warranty
exists solely to limit the manufacturer's liability on the product and
is not a reflection of the anticipated service life of the product.”

To see for ourselves, we held the
“11-Year-Old
Vest Shootout”
Click
for PHOTOS 30k
We
shot an 11-Year-Old, Level II Vest with four, 9 mm
FMJ rounds, plus 00 Buckshot, from 24" (61
cm).
The
deepest penetration was not even halfway through!
Would you like
to test-shoot VERY old Police Surplus armor?
If you'd like to test-shoot
a 20+ year old vest to see just how good VERY old armor is, one panel is just
$25. It has always stopped 9mm FMJ, and .357 Magnum JSP for us.
Pre-1987 vests are on the
old NIJ 0101.02 standard and so, for legal reasons, we don't sell these vests
for life-saving protection.
