[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4180716, member: 27098"] Yes, going through the mental gymnastics of why to buy it. Most protects chest only. There is armor that extends protection, for example a titanium cup. However really wondering the true value of Armor. For example, you get hit in the face or head, good chance you will die, especially from a rifle round. Get hit in the groin one may loose the will to live, or die. Get hit in the arm and your brachial artery or leg and femoral artery again without a tourniquet applied quickly one can die. Multiple hits, some armor degrades. Hit to the back or lower spine, paralysis for life. When I look at it that way, cover is always best. Only time I can see usage is mass riots or apocalypse. [/QUOTE]
