Yes, this is the exact same brand some of our men use, myself included. It feels good, but be prepared to sweat, not as much as other vests but you'll still feel the difference. In any warm weather especially, but under a suit you'll feel it in even moderate weather.
Keith, thank you for all you do and all the training/info you provide. I am a member of a small Baptist church and I am the only one that carries for security. We may never have any situation unfold at our little church, but reading your posts helps me to learn and to feel like I’m better prepared in the event the unthinkable happens. God bless you for that!
I have no experience with them. I do like premier body armor. It’s all I’ve been using. Their price is great and the quality has been too. Thank you for your trust.
I bought this soft armor and love it, you really don't know you are wearing it, and at church no one noticed it. A lot lighter than my vest with plates, highly recommend it. Buy 2 shirts when you buy, also side panels
I have the Safe Life Hyperline soft body armor level IIIA . We have 2-3 unarmed parking lot attendants and I am the only licensed armed security guard who works the front entrance and main parking lot. This is concealable under my polo shirt and works great. Most people don’t even know that I am wearing body armor. I limit my hugs to people who know what I’m wearing. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Love you Kieth! Stay strong and stay safe my brother! 🙏🏼
Good comments here. To add my 2 cents, I bought the Premier "t-shirt" pkg some time ago, with black and white "shirts" that hold the soft plates. I have worn it with both "plates" at the range where I'm an RSO when we expect lots of newbies or kids (which is rare, as our members are really safe and know how to behave.) At church, I've worn it with only the front plate under my dress shirt, as the back plate interferes with my concealed carry position (I'm slightly built) AND my role is forward-facing with limited exposure in one limited area. (Others are behind me who cover other areas.) It can be a bit difficult to put on and take off, so I use some baby powder to make it easier. I recommend it, if one can afford it (although I've not tested it, so thanks, Keith for your tests!).
I put a link in the article that accompanies where we’re leaving these comments right here. Just look at the main article and scroll down a little bit.
Mine arrived today and I definitely appreciate the size down recommendation. Will have it on during tomorrow’s worship service. Will be interested to see what an additional 4.25 lbs of kit will do to an old man 😆. 🇺🇸✝️
It's Premier. I have the 2 t-shirt (black and white) package and it's worth it. I don't wear it all the time and sometimes I remove the rear plate for comfort. Also, I use baby powder to help get it on, as I followed the instructions re: sizing. Of course, I could get more fit...nah!

With the "t-shirt" option, I remove the rear plate, given my role. It helps some re: temp. I'm located under the A/C!

Keith what do you think about RMA hard plates? I've watch vids on them but your opinion would carry the most for me

Such a great video!! Thank you Keith

Thanks, I'll check that out.
That's Keith, just ordered a kit and an extra shirt!
Jeff, if you're talking about the Premier product, I use some baby powder to make it easier to put on, but you may not have a problem in any event.
This is really great

Can you give us a brand / make / model of the soft armor $300? Thanks
