Good but has a couple issues

Really good quality however the armour panels do slide down carrier quite often and more Velcro would be nice to make it a more snug fit. Overall happy with the product but the price point is a bit much to justify how often I’m adjusting the vest while on shift.

Fantastic customer service. Great vest

Vest isn’t too bulky, fits well…. Hopefully it’ll beat any stab attempts however I don’t want to ever review that so fingers crossed. I had a slight issue with something however customer service kept me updated and resolved the issue with no problems. Vests are worth every penny and are definitely worth investing in when you work in certain jobs and in certain demographic areas, I’d recommend safeguard for your needs 100%

The vest, first off, will stop everything it says it will. Sadly I have had to be in a situation where an older one I owned had to be used and I’m still here today. With this new one I have got here I couldn’t say anything different about its quality, it’s solid, protective and low profile enough to conceal under hoodies, coats and jackets with relative ease. (You will feel like it’s noticeable when you first wear them but if you have it on properly other people will not be able to tell) The only downside to the vest is purely from a size standpoint/printing. The vest if worn with both the front and the back panels at equal level will make the top of the rear neck panel stick up and print through the clothing slightly (printing is where a concealed vest protrudes through your top layer and has a visible outline which people can see, obviously not good for when you want to be covert) This can be fixed by lowering the back panel but this subsequently raises the front panel exposing a slight line above the waist and lower stomach. With some playing around I’m sure I can find a method to both equalise the panels at parallel to one another and minimise the neck area printing, I have managed this before but it took a long time of messing around to figure it out and I’m trying to find a quick strategy so it can be worn when put on quickly in the morning or when needed without printing.
Overall the vest, especially with the state of England now, is a life saver. I’m not one for fear spreading but due to horrendously common knife attacks in cities, inside the country, due to county lines and drug gangs, which also in turn influence young children to join and further spreads this horrific social trend of knife crime and sadly if you happen to live In Birmingham or London, rapidly and ridiculously often gun crime and shootings. It’s something you may want to consider buying. I was nearly stabbed to death at 15 years old coming off a train from London, 5 years ish later and nothing has changed around us.
On the bright side we have brilliant companies such as Safeguard and the police doing there best to keep us safe, and the speed of delivery from safeguard paired with their extremely understanding and helpful staff means if the police aren’t there, you aren’t defenceless. Considering self defence “weapons” are banned in the UK, this is THE BEST thing you can buy to protect yourself or loved ones from potential threat!

Long vest

Easy ordering and quick arrival. Long vest covers most vitals except lower liver area so still very easy to take one to the liver. I'm 6 foot 6 for reference so if you're shorter a long will probably cover all your vitals.
