BULLETPROOF VESTS

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.

I REALLY LOVE THIS PLATE CARRIER, FOR FORM AND FIT. ALLOWS EASY ACCESS TO DUTY BELT, EASY TO DON AND DOFF. THE ONLY DRAWBACK IS THE COLLAR IS A LITTLE STIFF AND IT CHAFS UNDER MY CHIN SOMETIMES. NICE POCKETS AND WEBBING FOR ATTACHING MOLLE.

I have been using steel rifle plates from another competitor and a better quality plate carrier from a quality competitor. The plate carrier the rifle plate competitor offers is substandard so I always had to mix and match with my previous purchase for myself and my employees at the armed security company I own. After much research and shopping around I chose Ace Link Armor. The plates and side soft armor are very light. The Quadra Release carrier is excellent quality. I have been wearing it 7 nights a week for 2 weeks. The only draw back I have experienced is this: I am a large man. 6'4" and 280 lbs. The carrier I ordered although is a 2XL it is not quite large enough for me and fits a little too tight for my liking. I still have good movement as this vest and carrier are really active shooter ballistic vests, made to put on quickly and take off quickly. Overall I am pleased with my purchase. And would recommend this vest for someone who has a smaller chest and slimmer build. The 2XL sizing is deceiving.

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

This is a great piece of equipment and well worth the money. I have used it for details that call for a dress uniform (where my standard armor would be bulky) and on admin days. It’s so light and comfortable I have worn it under my standard uniform during shift.
