[QUOTE="ef9turbo, post: 2959191, member: 790"] I would avoid buying body armor just because if he does get onto a department, they may purchase it for him. If he plans on getting on with a small dept., they probably won't buy him a vest, so he can get his own. I would at least wait until that because vest have a 5 year expiration. If your parents are adamant on buying one, we currently are issuing the new Safariland armor. There are a few different armor choices, but the thinnest is the hardwire. It's literally 2mm thick and perform very well, though there isn't much flex as it contours to your body. You need to get professionally sized and most police stores can do that for you. It stopped every handgun round we threw at it and even stopped some rifle rounds. It's pretty pricey though.
