Belt was the exact one I needed and it came perfectly on time. Love the rigidness and stiff support in the belt.

The website is fairly simple to use for sales.
Major complaint though. Whomever came up with the Sizes for the vests must think that all customers are 1.5 lbs.. your vests run EXTREMELY small. I'm only 160 lb male and I ended up changing my order during the very early days of order from a Large to XXL. We'll even the XXL is to small but I'm upset because when I ordered a vest 6 yrs ago in the shirt size I used then the vest was too small. So I ordered this vest a lot bigger and it's still too small. I mean come on people. Your measurements that I used obviously don't come close to actual sizes needed. Not even close. I use my vest for work so I have to keep it updated every 5 yrs. This is the second purchase and the second time I've been very disappointed but I can't waste time trying to deal with the wrong sizes.

Thin armor
Good sizing chart. Easy to understand the ordering process. The armor arrived quickly. After wearing it for a few weeks, it seems to fit well and I most like the thinness. I am pleased with my purchase.

Thanks for the review. Glad the sizing chart was easy to work with and that the armor is fitting well after a few weeks of wear. The thin profile is something we hear a lot of good feedback on. Welcome to the Safe Life Defense family.

Customer service was helpful in giving me sizing information.
The vest that I wanted was in stock and shipped quickly.
The only complaint that I have is the pockets, on the front of the vest they're very small.
The two bottom front pockets are basically useless.
The two upper front pockets work but are extremely small all four pockets are very tight.

New SLD-Plus Vest
Kelly advised me that she got the package and has tried the vest on. She stated that it fits more comfortable than the 1st vest and she feels great in it.
Thank You

The quality of the product is great
The quality of the product is great, delivery was quick. This belt properly set up is a game changer. Takes the pressure off of my lower back and hips, making it much easier for me to do my job. Wish I had gotten one years ago!

The vest arrived ahead of schedule. Correct size and type. No complaints. It came with a booklet of certifications. I hope it never gets tested in the field.
