Often on the Prepper Boards, Forums, etc. in the more machismo world of guns and fighting off the Mongolian Hordes come TEOTWAWKI the subject of Body Armor always comes up, quickly after is a discussion of what to get, where to buy it, etc.

However I want to broach the subject of SHOULD YOU even buy it?

What is Body Armor/PPE

Now a quick rundown of Body armor is needed.

There are three components to Body Armor

The Vest:

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

These can vary from just a cloth shell to one replete with pouches and MOLLE straps to put various other pouches onto

The Inserts:

ballistic insert

These are the actual kevlar weave pieces that go inside the “shell” and provide the ballistic protection.  These can be separate pieces that can be removed or sometimes they are one in part of the vest and sewn in.

Protection levels:

II- Will stop 9mm 124 Gr. FMJ(5″ barrel/1175 fps) to 375 Magnum 158 gr. (6″ barrel, 1395 fps)

IIIA- Will stop 9mm 124 Gr. FMJ (16″ Barrel/1400 fps) to 44 Magnum 140 gr. (6″ barrel, 1400 fps)

Ceramic/Steel Plates:

I want one.. :) does it come in pink?

Darlin, I will personally paint it pink for you! As long as it keeps you safe! How is the gardening going?

  its a lot  of work mystery .. but i am hoping i learn a lot and get to eat good food and most of all i want to learn by experience to yield the precious seeds so i know how :)  thanks for asking ..

i looked on line and so far no pink or pink camo body armor .. i will take a black one thanks :)  paint it accordingly ;)

I would love to have body armor, but I can't afford it and am going to try to buy more Ammo ,if I can find it.

Have you tried going to the Army surplus? I found an excellent full coverage with plates for under two hundred! Was supposed to have been used in one of the US wars. It was pretty banged up and had been tested pretty good but it will still serve the purpose. I have to say that it was in great condition for the price and was fully intact no missing parts. It also sized down to extra small to fit me some I looked at would not go that small. Just look over what you picked up and make sure of all of the a fore mentioned things and you should be fine.

I love that!  heeeheeee, I want one in pink too!  Or would that clash with my red hair?

I was thinking maybe camo pink, lol. No I think it may enhance your already good looks Tina, giggle.
