    Custom Armor Technologies

    I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with this company and their body armor. We were just issued it about a month ago and I am getting the feeling we are the victim of the government's lowest bid policy !!!! It is probably the most uncomfortable body armor I have ever worn and I washed the carrier for the first time and I'm surprised it didnt fall completly apart. Any thoughts ????

    What kind is it? I wear US Armor, i work for a very small agency and we get ours donated, but they are not too uncomfortable, plus i am a female, and luckily i got a female vest, because since they are dontated, they dont even consider gender. I do have a male vest but i do not wear it, now THATS uncomfortable!

    Its a Level 3 concealable, it just really seems more and more like a piece of junk compared to my Safariland vest.

    I've never heard of them, but I did check the NIJ database and it looks like for their level III vests there certified as meeting the newer balistic standards.

    Yet as you said, that doen't mean comfort. I really much prefer my Extreme vest. It is very true, you get what you pay for.
