Customer service was helpful in giving me sizing information.
The vest that I wanted was in stock and shipped quickly.
The only complaint that I have is the pockets, on the front of the vest they're very small.
The two bottom front pockets are basically useless.
The two upper front pockets work but are extremely small all four pockets are very tight.

New SLD-Plus Vest
Kelly advised me that she got the package and has tried the vest on. She stated that it fits more comfortable than the 1st vest and she feels great in it.
Thank You

The quality of the product is great
The quality of the product is great, delivery was quick. This belt properly set up is a game changer. Takes the pressure off of my lower back and hips, making it much easier for me to do my job. Wish I had gotten one years ago!

Going to return the product the buckle keeps getting stuck. The last time I got stuck I could not get the belt off I had to go to the restroom I had to go home and have help getting unstuck from the belt buckle so I could use the restroom.

The vest arrived ahead of schedule
The vest arrived ahead of schedule. Correct size and type. No complaints. It came with a booklet of certifications. I hope it never gets tested in the field.

I got this vest as a gift for my… Brother
I got this vest as a gift for my brother. The size guide provided when you enter your height and weight wasn’t off by much. We ordered an XL, when it arrived it caught on his duty belt too much and we initiated an exchange order. Working with the safe life team was both pleasant and efficient. We determined he needed an XL-short and were provided promptly with one and it performs great and has zero clearance issues.

Thank you for the review. Glad our team could help dial in the right fit with the XL-short and that it's now sitting properly over the duty belt. Hope your brother enjoys the gift, and welcome to the Safe Life Defense family.

Love the construction of the belts
Love the construction of the belts. Bought one classic duty in camo an I was happy with the purchase so I bought another less then a month later. The buckle,the stitching an the overall construction it too tier. I've spent hundreds one belts an my only wish is that I had found these first.

Thanks for the great review. Glad the Classic Duty in Multicam worked out well enough that you came back for a second one, and that the buckle, stitching, and overall build are standing out. Welcome to the Safe Life Defense family.
