OK, I have been studying up on concealable body armor. It seems like some of the lighter, newer materials (like Goldflex), do NOT stop contact shots--the fibers melt and give way--this would fall into the category of really, really bad.

It also seems that the FBI has come up with some different tests and standards.

So, having said all that, any recommendations for level IIIA vests, that have met the FBIs standards?? The vest would be used for concealment on long patrol shifts in a large county in Montana (I've tried to find the FBI test results and recommendations, but can't find anything).

THANKS!!!
