    Just for future use, the label should always face the body. That armor appears to be Kevlar/Aramid front and PE rear, and was designed to catch rounds in that way :D

    I wore IIIA for work for close to 20 years. Miserable stuff to wear on hot humid days. Modern IIIA is much much better. Not just lighter and thinner, but it actually stops things that older IIIA wouldn't.

    @kenofken9458 2 роки тому +1

    Anyone considering National Body Armor should realize that the company stopped selling Level III+ and IV rifle plates to civilians before the New York law was even passed.
    They're doing the government's work for them. If you support companies which do that, you might as well be giving your dollars directly to the anti-gun movement.

    • @AlaskanBallistics
      @AlaskanBallistics  2 роки тому

      Then why did they give a civilian body armor to a review on youtube.

    • @kenofken9458
      @kenofken9458 2 роки тому +1

      They gave you this armor to review because like any other company they want free or low cost advertising. They want to continue to rack up sales among the products they still do offer for civilian sale and soft armor is the primary category remaining for them.
      I own a soft vest from National, although I think I got it when they still went by Body Armor Direct. I have nothing bad to say about the armor itself. The company also had excellent customer service. I just think it's kind of crappy and underhanded to advertise the company about being all about protection for the common civilian when they turn around and then cut off civilians from access to protection levels many consider crucial for themselves.

      @@AlaskanBallistics They've been sneaky about it. A couple weeks ago I went looking to see what they had in the way of plates. For as long as I've known, two or three years, they have always had a full offering of both soft armor and plates.
      When I looked the other week, all of the Level III+ and IV had new disclaimers saying they would only be sold to law enforcement with proper ID etc.
      About another week or few days after I complained, and presumably others did too, those plates simply vanished from the web site, or at least the public part of it. They may have dropped them from their lineup entirely, or I think much more likely, are still selling them to law enforcement and government. I think they realized their move didn't look good for a company which has boasted since day one that they serve everyone and not just the government.
      Maybe this seems petty, and I'm not actually a raging Second Amendment absolutist (though I strongly support 2A), but I cannot justify for myself spending my money with a company which is actively helping the anti-gun lobby deny us this equipment while telling us the opposite. National is not just complying with an unfortunate law. They went above and beyond the law to restrict their products to us. I have to wonder if such a company would also not go above and beyond their duty to help law enforcement track down its buyers if things they are selling now subsequently become outlawed.
      I hope you share any findings here. I'd love to stand corrected, but I think people should have the fullest information to decide for themselves. I think it's an unfortunate development because they really did have good product and service, at least when they were still named Body Armor Direct. Maybe management has changed since then.

      @@AlaskanBallistics Apparently I wasn't imagining this. This I just found on an NPR story on body armor today. The statements the news story quoted are from Dave Goldberg, CEO of National Body Armor:
      After the attack in Buffalo, Goldberg of National Body Armor said, his company is not selling products to the general public that are "military grade." All products sold by National Body Armor to the general public can be pierced by police bullets, he said.
      "We don't sell products to the general public that are more superior than what the police have anymore," Goldberg said. "We're trying to sell and do the right thing to sell to professionals. And you have people out there who are doing questionable things."
      Think about that long and hard before you decide to spend money with them. They want you to have inferior protection to both police and criminals. I'll never spend another dime with them.
