Do
YOU Need Body Armor?
You'd be surprised
who needs Body Armor...
WHAT
IS YOUR LIFE WORTH?
...Or peace of mind? What is it worth to know that you can survive
even a SURPRISE criminal attack? Consider that criminals prefer to
strike when circumstances put you in the most vulnerable position.
You are at a double disadvantage:
- When you are
the target of a criminal attack it may very well be at the time
and place chosen by the criminal – to maximize their advantage.
- Even worse,
law-abiding citizens and police operate under strict ethical and
legal constraints to using deadly force. While morally correct,
tactically this puts you at a huge disadvantage.
By criminal design
and legal constraints, you are often forced to REACT in catch-up mode.

An order of magnitude advantage”

Even if you are “only” in a situation where you are threatened,
the confidence that comes from knowing you are protected can be decisive.
Tactically and psychologically, body armor gives you a huge advantage,
because you know your armour can give you a second chance.

It's
kind of like poker...
One
vest and one gun,
beats NO vest and two guns!

Think about it
this way – would you rather enter a confrontation with JUST
a $600 pistol – or a $300 pistol, and a $300 vest?
Why 'Bullet proof' Vests Should Be COMFORTABLE
and CONCEALED...
While the extensive
coverage, and turtle-shell feeling of tactical armor is reassuring, convenience and concealability is often more
critical because dangerous situations don’t always announce themselves
ahead of time.
Your protection
needs to be on BEFORE it’s really needed, because the best vest
for you is the one you’re actually wearing when shot!
If an armed criminal
notices your body armor, they can easily target, or threaten, your
head, hip or groin area. You have just wasted part of the advantage
of wearing body armor (of course you also reduced your target area
by ~50%!)
Thus keeping your
armor camouflaged is critical. The military (see Tactical Armor) can accomplish this with camouflage patterns, but urban environments
require a concealable vest under clothes, or inconspicuous ballistic
clothing.
