BULLETPROOF VESTS

Side plates fit very well and take up a lot of gaps between front plate and rear plate One little drawback is it a face link to create side plate carriers but many others out there will work my choice was using 511’s side plate carrier pouches

I purchased this Live wire carrier vest to use with my safelife defense panels. The only issue is that I don’t like the side opening options safelife had for their vests. When I saw a co-worker wearing this particular vest I knew it was better than the one I had. I decided to purchase this vest carrier and hands down it’s the best carrier I’ve ever owned. If you have safelife defense panels and if you’re interested in upgrading to this vest carrier I recommend buying one size up (my panels are size XL regular so I bought a 2XL carrier and it fit).

The lvl4 plates I received have been a great option just starting out and I love the padding that is around the edges does. It have a sharp angle on them. Not a single but of wear has formed on either plate after nearly two years of use.

I purchased my vest because I hunt and I am concerned about being safe in these troubling times. I feel safer with a quality vest like Ace Link. I took a while but I but what believe is great body armor.

All in all it's a great carrier. The quadrelease seems pretty sturdy, doesn't open without pulling the tab so it won't randomly fall off. There's 2 cumberbunds, one is just straight elastic but it only connects to the vest in the back (it's difficult to describe without showing you) which to me seems kinda pointless so I just folded them and tucked them away- then you have the regular cumberbund that attaches the front and back of the vest together. What's nice about them is that they have shock cord between them, so it stays tight on your body, but has room to flex when you sit or breathe deep or whatever, that's a very nice addition. Pocket for the plates are a little taller than they need to be, which isn't a plus or a minus it's just something I noticed. The tubes are super easy to use, getting this on and off is a dream. My only really grip is there's no place to put the regular hard side plates. There's a pocket in the cumberbund that fits their 3a soft panels, but nothing to hold a hard plate in place so you have to buy a pouch to put on the outside of the MOLLE, that's the only major downside to this. Otherwise it's a great piece of gear
