LEGAL TERMS OF SALE AND WEBSITE USE

We only sell to law-abiding adults.
Body armor is a purely defensive item but, regardless, we are very sensitive to the possibility of vests being misused by criminals. By buying a vest from us, you certify that you are a law-abiding adult with no felony convictions.
We reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone, in our sole discretion. By buying body armor you guarantee that you are not legally prohibited from owning firearms or body armor and also that you are not associated with any criminal group, in any way, and have only a lawful self-defense purpose for owning body armor.
NO armor is 100% bulletproof
A 'bulletproof' vest or other armor will protect you from the vast majority of pistol ballistic threats you are ever likely to face. But there is always a tradeoff between more protection and more wear ability (and the constraint to stay within your budget).

Please know that:

- rifle rounds
- unusual high velocity pistol ammunition
- pistol ammo fired from a rifle barrel
- armor piercing ammunition
- sharp-edged or pointed instruments (e.g., knives, ice picks, etc.), and/or other unusual ammunition or situations...

can defeat body armor.

Also, at some angles projectiles can slide, or deflect off the edges of armor, or ricochet. Furthermore, projectiles that are successfully stopped by armor will always produce some level of injury, resulting in severe bruising, broken bones, and possibly serious internal injury or even death. Soft body armor defeats most pistol and shotgun projectiles, but no vest on earth makes you invulnerable to all threats.

To state the obvious, getting shot always carries risk.
Be aware that your head is much more susceptible to blunt trauma than your body. ANY impact of a bullet on a helmet will cause injury and can cause death. You put the odds more in your favor with head protection, but, just as with any armor, no guarantee of invulnerability can be made.

By buying body armor you assume all risks of use or misuse, and agree not to hold us liable in any way.

In addition, you are responsible to ensure that your ballistic panels are positioned inner side in, and outer side out if applicable (check the inside vest panel label).
