SIZING INFORMATION:
A tape measure must be used to measure your waistline at or slightly above the navel. Don't rely on your pants size. Our vests are law enforcement type vests. They will fit at the Navel/Belly Button or 1-3 inches above the navel. This is to ensure that the vest will fit comfortably when you sit down and that you are able to tuck your shirt into your pants.
ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE TAKEN AT THE NAVEL:
Small = 34"-36"
Med = 38"-40"
Large = 42"-44"
X-Large = 46"-48"
Available XXL-XXXL (call)
LEGAL INFORMATION:
It is legal for civilians (except felons) over age 18 to own body armor in all 50 States. Body armor can be sold through the mail to all civilians over age 18 except felons and persons residing in the State of Connecticut (residents of Connecticut are prohibited from buying body armor unless it is a face to face sale or you are military or police).
By buying body armor from us, you certify that you are a law-abiding citizen, 18 years of age or older, and have no felony convictions, not legally prohibited from owning firearms or body armor, not affiliated with any criminal or criminal groups or hate groups, and intend to use the vest only for lawful purposes. It is against the law for a felon to possess body armor under both Federal law and State law.
NO Armor is 100% Bulletproof - they are bullet resistant.
Bullet fragments may slide off or deflect and may still cause injury. If the body armor IS NOT successful in stopping the projectile, you will get hurt by the projectile. If the body armor IS successful in stopping the projectile, you may still have bruising, broken bones, or other internal injury.
Vests designed for bullets offer little protection against blows from sharp implements, such as knives, arrows or ice picks, or from bullets manufactured of non-deformable materials i.e. steel core instead of lead. The force of the impact of these objects is concentrated in a relatively small area, allowing them to puncture the fiber layers of most bullet-resistant fabrics.
WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY; PERIOD.
By buying Armor you assume ALL risks of use or misuse, and agree not to hold us liable in any way.
