LARP. I think it’s a hobby, not a precaution.
If the game changes in a serious way, I suppose I will hope to live long enough get mine from the same source as I might acquire claymores, RPGs, and NVG. Until then, I’m with @Jerzees — I have RL to occupy my priorities. Also, I don’t plan to start grocery shopping this year in
Allowing practical considerations to outweigh fear is a rational choice.
Yes, I agree, body armor is not worn because it is uncomfortable and inconvenient aka not particularly practical.
It’s a good result, a useful result, anybody worried about being in a ‘gunfight’ clearly recognizes that having body armor on would be of benefit. But, it’s not comfortable and would probably print
Edit: And summer is coming, it’s hot
Is that an M1117?
I wear Under Armour shirts, does that count?
@Nathan57 , don’t get me wrong… I’m not against body armor. I’m prepared, but I don’t wear it as a part of my EDC.
Seems like wearing body armor goes against the “grey man” concept.
This is exactly the reason we, wife and I, have the same. And it’s there if times get a little sketchy.
Heck yeah! Not just because it stops bullets but it stops knives too!
That’s why you conceal it. 
Careful with that, a lot of vests are pretty good at stopping bullets or edged weapons, but something made for one isn’t necessarily very good at the other. Corrections officers wear different vests than street officers because of this.
Good to know but, I will wait for my comfortable fit one before wearing one regularly!
I carry a vertx backpack when walking through certain places with an armor panel inside.
If i were to buy an armor to wear every day it would be the hyperline by safe life defense. It’s only 3/16" thick and is IIIA
Sorry to say Todd30, but most soft armor does not stop knives.
The standard Safelife soft armor is rated for bullets, slashes and strikes. Unfortunately the new Hyperline is not, but they say they are developing a variant that is.
So I’m told. Hasn’t been delivered yet.
Depends. Or maybe Underoos.
Better off going naked. Nobody wants to fight with a naked crazy guy 
Good choice. Sorry about the fuel costs. 
I live in Florida. FLORIDA. Not only would I die of heat stroke, the armor would stand out like a white flamingo,
Oh, I thought it came with an oilfield…
I’ll have to talk with the dealer.
Body armor expiration date?
Is that legit or just marketing for repeat customers?
It is legit, but for people who don’t wear and sweat and get rained on it in as a job, the dates are likely quite conservative
