Well worth the wait.
Well the shipping took a while, but that wasn’t the problem of the vendor, it was the USPS fault. The armor seems good so far, fit is great and as it’s breaking in, it’s getting more comfortable day after day. Overall I’m happy and would order another. Definitely would recommend to others, and I have been. Thank you.

Great customer service!
When I called in to ask about my order delay, the guy was very nice and explained why. He even offered to send part of my order in advance. Great service! I will for sure buy more stuff from your website.

Thanks for the review. Glad our team could explain what was going on with the order and get part of it out to you in the meantime. We look forward to having you back.
They don't tell you that the vest…
They don't tell you that the vest shouldn't go pass your belly button because if it does that means it's too big you should get smaller. And because of this reason now I have a bigger vest that's way too big when I put on my belt that messes with my belt very disappointed now I have to stay with this rest can't get my money back or get smaller one.

This company is the best
This company is the best! I'm a little smaller than most of y'all! 5'9" and 160 lbs. so I got a small. It was riding on my duty belt and after wearing it once, I sent a picture to customer service. True to their word, sent a small-short (rub it in, go ahead!) :-) It worked! Best Armor out there, trust me brothers!

Thanks for the review. Glad our team was able to dial in the right fit with the small-short and that it's sitting properly off the duty belt now. That's exactly why we work through it case by case. Stay safe out there.
Great quality, excellent value!
It took a little while to get; but at this price, for this quality, it’s worth a little wait. Great quality, excellent support!
