BULLETPROOF VESTS

Fits the Osprey Talon 22 snugly side to side. The bags hydration pocket is another inch taller so it would not be bad if the armor was 18″. The armor is light, thin, flexible and no one notices it being there. Hope to never need it.

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

I can’t say enough good things about Ace Link, I ordered a carrier and it did not fit so I needed a size bigger. I spoke with Justin and he not only helped me get the new size ordered but expedited shipping since I need the carrier for work. I’ll be ordering items from them again in the future!

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).
