Inserts by themselves are going for $369 and up, plate carrier for $65 or higher. Will let whole package go for $350 OBO, will not separate. Please ask questions or negotiate by PM here on this board. Price has been dropped to $300 - that's less than what I paid for the level IIIa inserts alone! Thanks for looking.

What the life of soft armor isn't it 5 years

 

[2336]

That's for soft armor that is worn on a daily basis, from the time it's bought. Here's a link https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=270661
They discuss the "lifespan" of soft body armor and what they say makes sense. There are several quotes in that thread, "Kevlar does not break down as officers have been told for years, neither does it have self destruct date. The vest in general will wear out due to normal wear and tear. Example an officer with a new vest quits after a month at a department. Two years later, another officer is issued that vest. The vest is still good and useable as long as it was stored in cool dry environment." The other is, "Heat, moisture and the amount of flexing that the panels are subjected to affect the life span. The 5-year expiration time is somewhat true, but only if the panels go through moderate to maximum usage. I spoke with one of the "Second Chance" people, and he said that the panels would remain relatively "new" if properly stored." This vest was tried once or twice, and otherwise has never been worn and stored in my home in a low humidity environment.
