Thank you! I used the "FFT10" code which saved me $75.33 after buying the concealable level iiia+ vest and two level iv plates for the Black Friday 2019 sale. I'm glad I waited until Sunday, too. Your 'police discount' to all went into effect which yield an additional savings to me. If I bought these items just 8 hours earlier, it would've been an additional $172.15.
How many days dose it take too get a vest in the mail
Now to see how it does vs 7.62TT FMJ...

A soft body armour that can stop stabs like that is something I would trust my life 100%.
Great piece of engineering.
horse shit ! your dreaming or your a dumb kid !
@@shaints3 Why? Getting stabbed can be as deadly as getting shot.
Most likely weigh a load though
Many police vest also have hard plastic insert at outer layer to serve as stab resistance purples but if you really looking for something serious for anti-stab purples I suggest you to just by a suit of chainmail cover your soft armor. It will serve the not only anti-stab but also zombie bite perfectly.
Yes Im talking about functional chainmail (not for reenactor riveted type) which is made of high-grade titanium alloy with soldering ring!

shaints3 what the fuck is horse shit you dumbass, your not the experts in bulletproof vests here so just shut up
Working in a hospital, I personally bought this same best very recently for slash and stab attempts. Being security in Texas, seeing this thing (assuming the recipe hasn't changed, so to speak), it was pretty nice to see this thing eat those handgun shots, and even take a shotgun pretty well!
I had make issues with their website that prevented me from ordering anything, so I had to call the company for customer support. I got a very positive sounding woman that helped me get what I needed, helped me around my ordering issues, and even gave me a discount for my job. It's pretty light, but stands out more than expected under my uniform. Pretty darn happy with it and the company!
This video did it for me. This video made up my mind to buy this vest more than Safe life defense promo vids. Kind of disappointing my department doesn’t supply this to all of us. Thank you sir!
wait until it gets hot out and the vest gets waterlogged from sweat ......
Start a go fund me for the officers in your department I’m sure the public will help you
@@shaints3 I wear this vest at work and it gets hot as hell but it's never once gotten waterlogged lmao. And I'm a particularly sweaty fella, so if that would happen to anyone it would most certainly happen to me.
Wasn't expecting that damage to the ice pick.
+Micheal Domayer Yeah, you weren't the only one. Lol.
That’s a lota damage
That makes the both of us. Tougher materials being used in body armor is kick ass.
On the plus side, you now have a very large fishing hook. Care to go deep sea fishing? ;-)
Shoot it with a AR 5.56, and AK 7.63x39. and 5.45x39
Wife: Hon, have you seen the ice pick?
FFT:Uhhhh
+Nøderak Nah, I bought it at Meijer. I'm more worried whoever owns that kabar we found in a drawer at pelchers is going to realize we bent the tip, lol.
maybe u should try the ice pick again and hiper dermic needles
LOLZ!

I just ordered one today. After this seeing this video, I'm really glad I pulled the trigger on it. This product is amazing.
No there isn't. That's 50ae. Totally different round and quite easy for any modern soft armor to stop.
I see what you did there with pulling the trigger ;D
Albert Pangilinan how much was it
I did the same that ice pick was enough
@@marquez74100 it's about $549 as of 3/20/2020. Definitely worth it. Especially since you can't put a price on life.
That Safe Life armor is just ahead of the game on everything I'm so impressed with the videos I been watching about safe life armor
THANK YOU! So happy that this company is not another "law enforcement only" company. Feel much safer, as a prepper, knowing my loved ones have a bullet resistant vest on in case of a societal collapse.

Jesus Anaya what are you even saying? 🤦🏻♂️
Jesus Anaya why are you bitching about me "bitching"
these vests impress me and the price is solid.
I have this vest and this is why after watching these videos and outside research i purchased it and why i trust it fully. Hopefully will never have to have it save my life. Comfortable, fit is amazing clearly designed by God himself and the customer support was amazing

Wait till you get their plates buddy yes they have plates you can buy plates and put them in it so u avoid the bruises
@@justsomepepperwithinternet2788 yup and there rifle rated and the float only weight is like 2pounds
That laminated multi ply core is impressive. Huge improvement over the stuff we had.
When I was an auxiliary police officer for NYPD, we used second chance vests. These would have been so much better for sure. Such an amazing product at half if not as third of the cost of most department issued vests.
I will get one of those. Thank you for showing us what works. Going home at the end of the shift is the most important thing.
Wrong, if your a cop or security, your job is to make sure the public gets home safely! Not you( that's why the pay ,train and arm you).
@@pauloneill9880 stfu don't be that guy
Paul Oneill they barely get paid, you have to pay and set up your own training they don’t train or arm you 85% of the time. End of shift means my job is done I’m goin home so John can pick up watch.
Damn, what an excellent review!! I was on the fence about getting this brand-wondering if it was just the usual marketing hype... well, I can tell you because of THIS review; I’ll be buying my safelife Defense level 3a+ vest. Thank you!
A forty minute video from FFT? What blessing is this? Hallelujah!
+That dude on UA-cam lol, I had five plus hours of video. My friend derek was even getting back roll on his phone. There is more on the patreon of us making the video.
+free field training Will be ordering this soon. Best Armor I have seen
Impressive! The only thing that make make this test even better would be a clay test (assuming that’s valid and warrants a revisit video?). Another demonstration of a different armor (CTZN) measured the kinetic impact through the body armor in millimeters impressed into clay in a square box. That review claimed the testing maximum was 44 mm I to the clay for human safety. They did not test 10mm, 357, nor 44 Magnum. Thanks, and I’m what you’d call a novice to this.
Jason Powell I don't have the ability to make the test valid as I don't have a climate controlled lab and the proper clay. The sample armor I received from safe life defense did come with a copy of the lab results where it was properly tested though in case anyone is interested in backface... It easily passed NIJ backface deformation standards.
I'm not new to this either and I try to make the reviews this long and detailed so that people can see that the tests are not gamed in any way. (im not saying other companies are doing that, I just know that if I wanted to I could make any vest look great or fail based upon how I performed the test) There is really no way to do that with clay since it is too easy to play with the temperature of the materials. Not to mention doing things like injecting the panels with water or epoxy to skew the results.
Instead I tested other vests against 1" clear pine boards and I always take the armor apart so that people could see a realistic representation of backface deformation and that nothing funny was done to the vest itself. In those videos people complained that the vests weren't wrapped around a solid object like a gel torso. I can't win no matter what I do.
Been wearing the enhanced multi threat tactical vest for the last week and so far I'm really loving it. The only thing I'm not hot on is the bulky velcro adjustments on the shoulders. Other than that, it's pretty comfortable and a lot cooler than my previous body armor.
Dudes laugh when the ice pick bent was great lmao
I bought a level 3A from Safelife a year ago. I'm going to sell it now after watching this and buy this one from them. This is amazing.
Wow! This is unreal! Not that I'm an expert, but I would never expect a soft vest to be able to take such a beating and KEEP STOPPING rounds!
Amazing stuff!
I bought this vest and wear it daily while on duty. Best I’ve wore yet.
Anything to say now? Have you upgraded is there something better? Do you feel safer ? I’m just all questions with body armor
@@Namedeeznuts I still wear this same vest daily. I work 12 hour shifts and very comfortable to wear even getting in and out of a patrol vehicle multiple times a day.
This is one badass soft armor vest.I will definitely purchase one.Thanks for the upload.
@freefieldtraining - This is the best video on YT covering these panels, and you posted it over 5 years ago!! 😂 I was already a subscriber, but this video made me a believer…not just in this armor, which I own and love, but in you as a personality. Definitely gonna watch more of your stuff now!! 🐭
Also, hopefully you know this already, SLD has this video on their ‘Tactical Enhanced Multi-Threat Vest’ product page…
PPS: I think a lot of people would like to see a side-by-side stand alone comparison of the IIIA/HG2, IIIA+(these), Hyperline, and FRAS panels from SLD. They’ve really stepped up their game, and more people want armor now than ever - and they want to support American businesses. BUT, soft armor to a newbie is a Hollywood concept. If you made a guide that’s HALF as good as this video over the whole lineup it would be GOLDEN!! That said I think these are probably still the best…Rifle plates are icing that people who are just looking to protect their home don’t REALLY need on their cake, and you can add em later
I'm a public safety officer at a Southern California hospital. We deal with sharps and knives all the time, knowing that vest can take that damage and still ask for more. Very impressive! Stay safe.
+Jarrett Rodriguez you do the same brother!
I have the same set up I wear it everyday on duty. Great vest
Great! I got one just in case Looters. Small business owner we need to protect what's ours.
dont you have ins ? you act like you want bad things to happen at your store ! you dont need any gun !
I purchased this for my position as an armed security officer. I love this vest.
I have watched this video probably four times and every time I watch it I’m so impress... the ice pick took my money!
Wow, I've been looking at these for awhile and especially was wondering whether the extra 100 bucks or so was worth the extra stab protection. I'd say it sure is!. Also thank you for the bullet safe review. After seeing both back to back I think the extra money is entirely worth it
8:07 Wow that flinch with the 44 though LOL He'd be missing a full size target at 7 yards
just waiting to receive my vest... went to Vegas to have it custom made .. the owner is a great guy and really appreciated his assistance..
+Jesse Garcia nick has been nothing but nice to me and everyone I've spoken to about him.
free field training .. Great experience I will definitely be a repeat customer..and thanks for your videos they are really helpful
Ice picks typically do alot of damage to body armor specifically to alot of types of modern armor due to the fact that is so tapered thats also why daggers from the late medeval/ Early Renaissance such as ballock daggers rondels and baselards all preaty much looked like big tapered spikes because even back then people preaty knew that things like were the best kind of tool for getting through armor.
Thanks for making up my mind, bud. I was torn between their 3a and 3a+. After watching the 3a vest, and then this one, it's no contest. Especially with that stab protection.
Keep doing what your doing. Much thanks.
"That'll hurt ya" lol
+John Hurst I just love shooting full house. 44mag!
So how come none of the other big boys? I was expecting to see a 9X25 Dillon & maybe a 500 S & W or .50 AE. Still a very interesting vest! Any good way to keep it cool? I heard Maxx Dry is good.
+Atkrdu I only own or can borrow so much cool stuff...and 460 rounds are way outside of my budget. Lol.
not only that, but even among firearms enthusiasts, very few of them even own 500 s&w - although it's in our dreams :)

When I was working for the sheriff's Dept. My daily carry was the Safe Life Defense Soft armor, When we were doing extractions, mostly fugitives loaded up on meth or herion we would wear a plate carrier with hard rifle plates level 4 ICW in conjunction with the soft armor vest, individually the soft vest works perfect, than during hot extractions with the plate carrier also Safe Life Defense plates was a level of protection that helped tremendously to make it home after the shift change, I've witnessed how great Safe Life works for protection in a shotgun blast and stabbing
I just ordered the safe life defense bundle to use in my security work ordered it on the 15th is going to be back ordered and probably won't see it until the first or second week of May the weight is worth it thank you safe life defense My wife and kids has a piece of mind that I'm protected while working I'm a uniform security officer I work in a lot of high risk areas where law enforcement officers I'm not very well liked neither is uniform security but I'm not there to be liked because if I earn to respect I did something good and that's all I care I do a lot for people I respect again safe Life defense thank you for making this available to the American people especially emergency police security and EMS this bundle is going to save a lot of lives God forbid that we will never have to be put in that circumstance
Eyyy back at it again with the coffee
I wonder if law enforcement agencies will switch to these, seeing as they're damn near unstoppable without using a rifle. Especially at $500 instead of over $1000 for other name brands. Definitely looking forward to what Safe Life has in store in the future! Awesome review!
+Anthony G thanks
Have you considered a spare bag with 1 of each round (hand gun to rifle) to keep as a kit? That way you could size them up with spent rounds and/or use as a visual reference with other vids.
Keep doing what you do and thanks for showing my new purchase
+Mr. Morris Nah, I see lots of rounds after they hit stuff. It is always an adventure to see what some rifle or handgun round will do when it hits a thins steel door, wood frame house, plate glass, ect. It gets even more Interesting when things start happening at angles. My house is like a postage stamp too, so storing more stuff long term isn't really appealing to me. I do keep all the cut video so I can reference back if i need to.
Hey FFT! Just wanted to say I really appreciate these videos! I've been looking for a vest for awhile, and you're videos have always helped. I'm likely going to get a safeguardclothing vest, since my budget is pretty tight(don't get paid to do the work, all volunteer) but I've admired SafeLife defense vests as well. Thanks for doing what you do, and devoting your time to making these videos. Stay safe.

Its worth keeping in mind, because some people still dont know, just because its not a pass trough doesnt mean it wont cause trauma and potential damage to organs, that 44 hits you centar mass it will breal your chest and mayve maybe not stop your heart.
Tom H. No, not at all. You will 100% survive
5:49 Yeah this is the best soft body armor I mean it can withstand armoe piercing slugs and it's also stabproof as you can see here. That icepick was bent by the kevlar. Really good stuff.

I'm sold on this vest! I'll be making a purchase of this vest soon. Good info.
The advertising for IIIA+ Side Armor Panels 6" x 8" is very misleading. I purchased 2 sets and all 4 panels measured 4"5/8 x 7"1/4. The weight on Safe Life Defense website says 0.5 pounds for a set. The actual weight is 13.1 ounces for cut down versions of what they advertise as there 15% more coverage.
I am a CPO and I would wear this everyday.. At that toture test I am satisfied that it will save you life. I do not know how it will stand against a 5. 56 or a 7.62
Criticalgamer02 this vest also doubles as a plate Carrier so you could just put level 3+ steel plates in there and they will stop up to a 308.

Just got mine a couple days ago. Package was well protected & certified with papers. Never want to have to use it, but you never know. Stay safe
Thank you for making this video. It prevented me from dropping $1000 to buy a Five Seven and even more in ammo. They are cool guns but given that even the LEO-only SS190 rounds don't penetrate the armor that easily without multiple shots being fired in the same place, civilian rounds definitely won't. The Five Seven seems like it will only reliably work with penetrating cheap Level II armor that can stop a 9mm but not much else. If someone needs to penetrate armor due to fear of violent attackers wearing IIIA armor, any AR-15 will do. I'll just stick with my 9mm and .357. I would love to see a test done with .454 Casull, .500 S&W, and .50 AE to see if it this armor can handle those calibers.
Lots of good information. Thank you for sharing ;)
"Stab vests aren't really a big thing here in the States." LMAO No, because only a complete idiot brings a knife to a gunfight!
On the other hand, up here in Canada, the odds of having to deal with a knife are significantly higher than of having a gun pulled on you. Especially for us poor security types, who are generally unarmed ourselves. This stuff would appear to be just the ticket... handles pretty much every threat you're likely to face, and quite a few that, unless you REALLY draw the short straw, you're not ever very bloody likely to!
that's a great price. I've been running 2 different plates to get stab and ballistic protection, this is for sure on my radar now
+ryan rose at $500 it is probably cheaper than just the plates. Way. Ore coverage area too.
Thx Tommy for the recommendation. I got one and it feels great right of the box. My next purchase will be the armor plates.

+Donovan Grimsley they do have 10x12's. My suggestion would be to find/make a white carrier for it. I'm not sure how easy that would be.
free field training hey man i really like your vids.
does this vest have some pockets to put some 10x12 trauma pads in the back? also would there be any way to place a badge on the front of the armor? i know some security companies wont let you wear an external vest unless you put your badge and id on the carrier.
thank you
+Mono Loco they make external carriers for it as well here: safelifedefense.com/product/first-response-carrier/
There are two types of external carriers and several colors and options. You can also save a bit of money by buying the vest with the carrier.

The 3A Plus is one bad ass vest. The 3A is dam good but the 3A plus is more than you need until you encounter rifles. Now the best is not the thinnest or the lightest but it does the job for dam sure.
How much does that vest weigh
+Hammer329 - less than even a single 10x12 steel plate I can tell you that. Felt about 5lbs.
free field training Jesus that's light... looks a lot like a soft armor version of the old military IBA too
If you get body armor that fits very snug you wont feel the weight. That is how body armor should be worn under your uniform or clothing if you work security, law enforcement, or as part of a security detail. The old PASGT FLAK vests sucked because they were pretty big but had the same level as Level 3A weighed close to 12 pounds. The Interceptor Body Armor I had in Iraq with level 4 rifle plates both front and back to include sides weighs close to 25 pounds. As long as you wear it tight you are good to go.
what about carbon nanotubes?
+John Willett Who is producing armor using that tech?
free field training citizen armor and AR500
+John Willett from what little I know about carbon nanotechnology I find it highly unlikely that they are incorporated into the designs in any amount sufficient to increase strength. They are likely just Kevlar or spectra vests. I have only heard about carbon nanotubes being used in sealed hard armor because it is my understanding that they all the current technology renders them highly toxic. Again, that is just my understanding of it. Also, nanotubes only reinforce the material, which wouldn't provide stab resistance in a traditional woven vest.
@@freefieldtraining Carbon Nanotubes
- "This new material takes the form of cylindrical carbon molecules which is said to be over 100x the strength of steel! This material is very flexible and shows promise for body armor. The reason carbon nanotubes are not taking over the body armor market is due to the overwhelming costs of manufacturing. Maybe one day these carbon allotropes will be standard, but until costs come down significantly, they don't make practical sense." - safelifedefense.com/body-armor-guide/#tab-con-17
@@freefieldtraining it's just jargon it's not real nanotubes
Just ordered mine last night. Thanks for the review!
So glad I bought this soft body armor. Great test. I'm happy with your video
Excellent video! I hope all soldiers, law enforcement, prison guards, even bank and other security related industries look into these. Finding a light weight cooling system that can be developed would also be an incredible help. ***The heat is a big draw back on most of the vests I've seen or heard about. Those protecting civilians and fighting for our country deserve the best. They will probably perform even better if they are comfortable. Otherwise I am impressed. Getting guns and high grade ammo away from violent and unstable individuals is still a very important issue. Sorry, but intensive training every 4 or 5 years and mental/physical evaluations are needed for the majority of weapons available. Special forces gets intense trading that many soldiers do not get. I do not think all citizens should be banned from weapons (2nd amendment rights), just those who can't handle weapons or are not mentally stable. The same goes for leaders with nuclear codes (you know who I mean). Peace, W

Very glad I purchased this brand. Every torture test Ive seen is impressive. Just hope their 2 to 3 week backorder stays true and are not like AR500 and its 6 months later
another great video. alot of guys wear the issued stuff. and the issues stuff is worrysome. you should do one on. don't get involved with private disputes , don't try to break up fights. just leave. ( I was disappointed with the vest and how it performed here.)
dude it BENT an ice pick almost 180 degrees....
I think it's pronounced Hor-nuh-dee
+WCGwkf cool
you're right. i wondered about that too. i carry hornady 124 gr xtp in my beretta nano. smoove baby! very nice! very accurate and could ruin someone's day if they fuck with me. hickok45 can hit his gong with this gun, and i can see why!
Horndaddy?
Who cares. Having shown us the box we know exactly what he was talking about. Perhaps they pronounce it that way there, or, perhaps he's unfamiliar with the ammo/name. There's no need to be so fussy especially since it is perfectly clear what he's talking about since we visually saw/confirmed it.
This is my new vest. Glad it works well
In Bare gel the SS198 LF round will typically tumble and stay in tact. on occasion the core will separate from the jacket..
+Buffman - R.A.N.G.E. I want to hit it both without and with like, level 2 armor and see if it has the same disruptive effect that a. 223 through soft armor does.
Typically what it does when it penetrates soft armor and then into gel is it will tumble at least once. SS198LF is not designed to fragment. It's going fast enough to have met the theoretical rifle velocity requirement, just not sure about how fast it's still going after penetrating soft armor..
+Buffman - R.A.N.G.E. Ya see that's kind of the rub isn't it. The 5.7 still has the problem of being a really small round with low inertia. It can go through armor pretty well, but when it comes out the other side what would be left? I wish I had some for the "worst armor you can buy" test.
Holy shit this is amazing
WOW, I was blown away when that ice pick bent! Holy cow man! That vest is the bomb brother.
+J 2 The R yeah, I didn't expect it to do that either. I guess I don't know my own strength. Lol
free field training lol 👍🏽💪🏽💪🏽
cheep ice pik a ceramic knife will fuck up that vest it sure did with mine ! oh and i lost a 100 dollar bet !
Great video! one of the best I saw about armor. Congrats!
I love the brevity, fantastic. I HATE the excess blah blah blah bs. You explain, shoot and show. Keep it up
I can't help but think that that 12ga slug, even though it didn't penetrate, would still completely wreck your shit.
thank you sir for providing a valuable service
If you use two LeveIIIA you should as protected as Level IV at lower weight???
Amazing video!!!! I'm so glad I purchased my vest.
all these vests and nice but the one thing people don't understand about him is you're still going to go down that's going to knock the wind out of you and then you were vulnerable
you are the best maker videos don't stop make videos continue l love your Chanel
+Eyad morad 👍👍👍
There was a NYPD detective by the name of Det. Brian Simonsen may he rest in peace, he died in a friendly fire altercation he was accidentally shot in the chest by a fellow officer he was 19year veteran and that day he was not wearing a vest. Gentlemen I need no further convincing.
My boy Derek needs to work on that anticipation
