I've heard a lot about US armor, Point blank, ABA, Second chance... So I was hoping you guys could tell me about your experience with different brands and models.
thanks in advance
I have only had one vest and it was a IIIA Point Blank (I forget the type). I have nothing bad to say about it. Understand that no vest is comfortable, you will be uncomfortable no matter what, just part of the job. I do like that mine was adjustable both around the body and up at the shoulders, it made it easier to adjust it on different days so it didn't always have to fit only one way!
