    $ 99.00 Ballistic Vest ~ Cheap/cheap/cHEAP

    http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/c....aspx?a=604857

    Good News: it is cheap.

    Bad News: it is made with 'Zylon', and not 'Kevlar'.

    Zylon, when exposed to Heat + Humidity, would break down

    and decreased its ability to be "bullet resistant".

    " •Grip-cinch adjustable sides and top for a custom fit. Intended for costume use only. Weighs a whopping 3 lbs., 3 ozs. "

    You get what you pay for, in this case, dead.

    That's a good deal and all, but I'm not so sure "the bargain basement" is where you be shopping for any safety gear let alone the bullet proof variety!

    Rated from 22 lr to 380 std velocity ball...not sure I'd go with something rated like that.

    That's all that anti-gun Europe thinks it needs.

    It looks similar to the body armor Vietnam era door gunners wore. Theirs stopped bullets and that sure as hell wouldn't.
