It’s just as difficult to get back into the carrier as it is to remove it. To get the armor back in, I just followed the same process in reverse. But you have to muscle it around a bit to get it out of the carrier until it’s broken in. Just remember you want to try to “fold” the armor as little as possible, you don’t want to create any creases. Once each of the side overlap areas were out of the carrier, the rest slid right out without any issue. I would imagine the vests with a two-inch side overlap are even more difficult. But to get the armor removed for a couple photos, it took some muscle. Once the armor is more broken in and a little less rigid that process should be easier. Once one side was out, I was able to repeat the process for the other side.Because I ordered the armor with a one-inch side overlap, the armor is difficult to remove the carrier. This required pushing and pulling the carrier around the armor pretty forcefully. What I found to work the best was to unzip the removal flap fully, remove the shoulder straps, then to bend the vest in the middle into an arch, then pull in one side enough to slip out of the bottom of the carrier. Everything is custom made based on your particular measurements. Remember that the weight and size of the vest will vary depending on your body size. You obviously don’t want a large unprotected area or to get choked when you sit down. If your numbers are too far off, the vest won’t fit well and can impede your ability to wear it effectively. You shouldn’t use a normal, semi-rigid tape measure to take the measurements because it will bend and is not very accurate for measuring around shapes and you want to make sure your numbers are accurate. The best way to take these measurements is with a flexible sewing tape measure, if you don’t have one, you can use a piece of string and a regular tape measure. For example, if you work undercover or “plain clothes” and need to wear a vest, the white may be a good option because it will help blend in with a white undershirt.Īll sizes should be rounded to the nearest inch. Depending on how you will use the vest, different colors may work better for you. The carriers are also available in four colors, black, navy, tan and white. This causes the electricity from an electroshock weapon to be dissipated into the material rather than into you. ThorShield is basically a highly conductive layer added to the carrier. It’s something I didn’t know too much about when I started this off, but have done some reading, and it is interesting. Since most of the features are pretty self explanatory, I’m not going to go into too much detail, but one thing that I did want to go over is ThorShield.

I sent BAO an e-mail and got a call back from a salesman who talked me through everything about the vest and the promotion. Also, I found a great sale going on from Body Armor Outlet. After my research, I landed on the Point blank vest because I liked the basic features and had heard good things about them from friends of mine in law enforcement.
