    Point taken on a discount vest. Probably something one wouldn't want to skimp on if they really felt the need for one.. LoL

    Lol my point was the difference in price reflects the type of vest, I see you can buy a plate carrier for that price, but you gotta buy the steel plates; the ones you can wear under your shirt for example are made of strong synthetic fibers rated to stop handguns and some rifle rounds dependent on the brand you buy

    Lmao :D
    I see your point to FJ, & it also makes sense!! Feel better!? ;)

    To be honest I know nothing about body armor, nor did I even give their web page a look.. Not a one size fits all type of product, with many variances in stopping power..

    Still seems like if your life may depends on the product, full investigation into the best one can afford, or find is warranted. Not just a dang creepy random text at supper time saying, hey need a discount vest!? I hate the feeling of being stalked online..

    Yeah I don’t blame ya for not wanting “discount” and “bulletproof vest” in the same sentence; I’d send a text back and be like, “Uh, can I pay the full price instead?”

    I was just blabbin’ man, not being a know it all; synthetic vest for everyday use, steel plate carrier for shtf lol
