[QUOTE="GlockCop, post: 2025510, member: 1143"] This is one of those items you have to weigh carefully. If you get the stuff thats rated for rifle fire...its going to be pretty heavy. Pistol rated isnt too bad nowadays. As far as shrapnel protection I know that most of the pistol rated vests would be pretty bad because a good knife will defeat a lot of vests. I guess the best compromise would be a II or IIA with a good trauma plate in the chest. Should stop most pistol and maybe rifle IF it hits the plate. After 22 years of wearing one everyday I guess Ive gotten used to the weight. Its a little confining in the summer but overall it offers good protection for a little added bulk. Just have to decide if an extra couple of pounds is worth what you might be going up against. BTW Dustin check your email.... [/QUOTE]
