    Body Armor: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    We are not amused- Thanks for the support. I am not better than anyone, and welcome the opportunity to gain knowledge myself. Grey Mana- PM me. Mortablunt- Not neccesarily. Again, the irony is that the armors containing laminates are generally *more* expensive, while woven Kevlar is still...

    Body Armor: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    Armoredman- Sorry to hear that. Sent PM. I would say with 70% certainty that that vest contains laminates as well. Will give you a certain answer ASAP. Remember that Galls was one of the parties named in the class action suit re: Zylon in vests- I no longer trust them for soft armor...

    Body Armor: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    Correct. It makes dandy oven mitts, cut resistant sleeves, and insulation (applications below 450 F or so).

    Body Armor: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    Thanks gents. Much appreciated. FadingSwordsman, I will try to address your concerns. It is not disingenuous to say level III is superior, since the purpose of the statement was to remove false assumptions re: the superiority of level IV vs. level III armor. Most people will make the same...

    Body Armor: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    Ok, lots of gents have requested I repost this here, so here ya go. It is an overview of body armor MATERIALS, rather than specific manufacturers. I have been designing and building armor for 12 years, so have a fair amount of experience creating and destroying all sorts of bullet stopping...
