Mostly just wanted to comment on the actual safety factor of this kind of armor. The objective truth on this kind of thing is, armor is one of the few places you should never cut corners. The ballistics, materials, and manufacturing engineering alongside the physics that goes into actually developing armor is why armor is so damned expensive, and that's a very good thing. If the R&D going into your armor was so minimal and cheap that a manufacturer can charge 400$ and still make a pretty penny, I'd be seriously concerned. I get not wanting to break the bank for good stuff but this is equipment meant to protect your life, full stop.
That being said, if the customer you mentioned actually did what you said he did, not only does it scream reckless, but it also screams incompetency.
