In concealable,
police-style 'bullet proof' vests (or more correctly bullet-resistant
vests) we offer a superb value in Police Surplus vests: Previously
Worn, or Refurbished to look Like-New, police vests.
Not "cheap
imported vests on sale", NOT made in China, but quality
made in the US or Canada - vests that are in good condition, inexpensive,
ready to wear, and a great value. Police
Departments are legally obligated to only use vests under warranty
with an insurance policy - so even though a 5 year old vest is
typically still perfectly serviceable, they are retired.
The
Wound Channel on YouTube hit one of our older Level II Police
Surplus vests with a Level 3-A sub-machine-gun - 9mm at over 1,400
fps. Still no penetration, even though Level II is not rated for
this threat!
We inspect and process all vests very thoroughly, we:
inspect
all vests to remove heavily worn or damaged vests, (and ensure
that there is absolutely no Zylon)

Worn vests Inspected & Refurbished at the Factory
New nylon cover to the ballistic panels and a new outershell carrier

to know it is Police Surplus)

the thinner Level II vests when concealing the armor under light

100% woven
aramid vests - VERY flexible, comfortable, and concealable
~ 6 mm

standards, so just a little bit thicker than most Level II vests

If we
would not be 100% comfortable wearing a used vest for our personal
protection, we sell the panels for test shooting.
One stripped
down ballistic panel, NO carrier, and NOT usable as a vest.
If you would
like to see just how well armor works, nothing inspires confidence
like shooting one yourself.
You need to
have a suitable backstop for the vest to test properly. A concrete
wall is too hard for a valid test, and can make a good vest fail.
Swinging free in the air can let a bad vest pass.
So a punching
bag or other semi-soft backstop is ideal for "field expedient"
testing.

The special
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...
