Is it worth buying a bulletproof vest as a civillian for every day wear? If so, do you /k/ommandos have a recommendation of a concealed/covert model?

Would probably be way too heavy to carry around with you all day, will probably fuck your back.

Would only be level 3 and above with plates for that i would imagine.

Dunno, women have gotten back pain from breast implants so I think a 10 lb west will probably mess you up too if you give it enough time.

Well, not that guy, but a vest is generally a lot better spread out over you. Several layers of thick clothing can weight a surprising amount but won't do much. Breasts are a lot less balanced than clothes, all the weight is up front. so he probably won't have to deal with much backpain, though it certainly would be unpleasant and eventually get uncomfortable.

>breast implants
no back titties
or back muscles.

Even for kevlar/fabric only?

Any recommendations?
You can get lvl II surplus vests from bongs for under a hundo. Perfect for concealing.
For edc, soft armor is the way to go.

Do you have a recommended manufacturer or retailer?

Kevlar is really hard to fuck up.

Link? The old level 2 vest I got is a shitty pseudo tactical vest and I want a concealable vest
Bumping for interest.

You don't at all, it's a personal choice. But belive what you want, I really don't care.

Tits are relatively in one place and that's on a woman / mutant. 10 lbs is nothing spread out.

Do you get shot at daily?
Weekly?
Monthly?
