Frequently Asked Questions

What are military vests so beneficial for law enforcement and active-duty service members?

As an essential piece of tactical gear, vests keep the wearer safe and protected from threats while on duty. But that’s not their only benefit. 

Vests also come with different-sized pockets or MOLLE webbing so professionals can easily carry additional gear, such as firearms, ammo, and radios. In addition, many of these vests are made with a lightweight construction so that comfort and agility aren’t sacrificed for protection.

Can civilians wear tactical bulletproof vests and other tactical body armor?

Yes, though typically worn by law enforcement and military members, civilians can wear this protective gear. Generally, federal law permits any citizen who hasn’t been convicted of a crime or a felony to purchase and wear body armor; state laws may vary. 

It’s up to you whether you want or need body armor for personal use. For example, a hunter may want to wear a vest to carry their essential gear into the bush, or a paintballer may want protection during an intense game.

What type of military vest and armor should I buy?

The most important thing to think about is your needs. For example, a law enforcement officer needs significantly more protection than a fisherman. Consider the level and type of protection you need, which will inform whether you’ll need a plate carrier, bulletproof vest, or other tactical vest. 

From there, you may also want to consider your on-the-go carrying capacity for extra gear and your budget. Other important considerations include sizing, durability, functionality, and color.
