Hi gals!!
I have a question about body armor. I was an ARMY MP and the IBA vest with plates was really uncomfotable (mashed my boobies LOL). What if any type of body armor do you wear and do you use any type of plates. The 10x12 SAPPI plates are just way too uncomfortable for civilian use. So, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. |

My body armor was measured specifically for my shape, which is nice. It's a Second Chance vest, and fits me okay (though I still feel like a He-Woman wearing it, lol). I use a trauma plate in mine, which hasn't been a problem thus far.
Not sure if that helps, but that's what I use anyways

Getting your vest fitted by someone that knows what they're doing is critical to fit and comfort. Ask around in your area and see who the LEO's like to use for their local uniform and supply. As for brands, I have an American Body Armor Extreme vest, and a Point Blank vest, both with soft trauma panels...I like them both. The carrier on the Point Blank vest has a feature that I really like, it has a wide velcro band on the back panel that you fasten around your ribs under the front panel, and it keeps the vest from sliding around or the back panel from riding up.
Good luck.

My first time w/ photobucket, and my first time posting pics of me, here goes:
They're both Second Chance, both carriers have darts in the chest area. The panels in the tan one are thicker, so they keep a busty shape by themselves. The blue one's are thinner and lay flat unless I'm wearing it. I included pics of the blue one with and without the plates. Putting in the plates reduces the overall femininity. Under a light suit jacket it's pretty hard to tell I have it on. So I guess the safer you are the less cute. If you want I'll take a look at the panels and see what each is rated for. Hope this helps. |

And get ready for the leg humpers to flood out of GD once word of your photos get out. Brave woman. Of course the fact you own a vest says that already. |

But I'm not too worried about it here in the women's forum, ya'll are pretty well behaved when you visit the estrogen chamber. Brave woman. Of course the fact you own a vest says that already. Brave? I thought I had vests because I was skeered... |

Lurking doesn't do any harm. What are they gonna do? Start a thread in GD and say the things that can't be said here in Amazonia? I'll just post pics of Vanessavy and they'll get bored and forget me.  Forget you? No way, yer HAWT!!!  Don't forget the male mind can track multiple targets and adapts to most any situation
Seriously thou, as you probably know, women are treated w/respect here as they should be. If not we have some good mods and 1 lovely supergurl that will come to restore order
