Thank you SAFE LIFE DEFENSE for giving us the best vests!
Thank you SAFE LIFE DEFENSE for producing quality body armor that truly protects first responders, our military operators, security professionals and firearms Instructor like myself. I train security officers, private investigators and law enforcement officers on a daily basis.
I personally own five different body armor systems and setups, each for different situations. My SAFE LIFE BODY ARMOR travels with me everywhere I go, ready to operate and ready to work. I can't begin to tell all reading how many times I have relied on my SAFE LIFE INSTRUCTOR BODY ARMOR while training amateur and novice shooters in larger classes.
I will continue to purchase your products until I retire. I will continue to recommend your products to every professional I meet until I am no longer able to do so.

Communication was great and I love my carriers. Great quality and I am ensured that my safety is good hands with these products.
Long waiting time after order
Long waiting time after order, poor quality of product, mediocre customer service
An exceptional vest and professional company
The vest fits and wears well. Like the fact that it is both bullet resistant and slash and stab resistant. This is very important as sometime knives are encountered and not guns. The updates about shipping status were timely and kept me informed. The company is very professional in customer treatment and vest quality and protection.
Prices a little to high for protection…
Prices a little to high for protection but amazing products. Just wish I could afford it.

Shirt pockets barely fit standard notebooks. Overall quality is good. Wish there was more molle webbing. Decent price.

I never got my order
I never got my order. I'm extremely upset and will be writing a Google review also. I never got my order and I can't get my money back unless I send the product back. I paid a good amount of money for this. Absolutely insane.
Not What I ordered & Non-Professional customer service
I ordered a patch and paid for lettering. I selected custom lettering and typed in the custom lettering and I went to check out and they tried to sell me actual body armor. I researched it and decided to order one armor instead of two for now. I received the patch without the lettering that I paid for so I called. It was going to cost a ridiculous amount in shipping to receive what I ordered and the lady on the phone implied I had perhaps damaged the one I had that was just out of the box and still in their zip-lock bag. It is small enough to fit in a regular envelope and should not have cost much more than a postage stamp instead of like $20-$40 dollars. She said I still had to pay to have the lettering to be printed on the patch even though I paid for lettering. It wasn't worth my time for this sort of pettiness. If there was a step that I missed then somebody there should have recognized that I paid for lettering and they were not clear on what they needed to print.
They honored their warranty
They honored their warranty! Once they had my old belt, the me one was immediately shipped.

Great product, but limited options for sizing.
The product is well made and will suit my needs. However, I contacted your support asking for suggestions on getting a bit longer side panels (I'm not a skinny guy). They offered ballistic panels but that's not what I need. Then they said I could exchange for a larger size, but that it would take several weeks to inspect the returned product before shipping a replacement. I found this unacceptable considering I need my vest when I'm working. I'm not willing to roll the dice and not wear it.

I ordered a set of concelable body armor (IIIA+). SLD shipped it the following day. It sat in UPS Las Vegas NV for a week with no movement. I called UPS and SLD. SLD put out a 2 week investigation. SLD called back after a week and a half saying that the package got returned to the warehouse. After QA'ing the package, it was undamaged. SLD 2 day aired me the body armour at zero cost me and received it within 2 days. Exactly what I expected, fit, finish, etc. Customer service was fenominal.
