I don't even look down at the urinal, I stare straight ahead- I may even peeing on the floor, I can't be sure. Not that I think there's anything wrong with people who do look down, just as long as I'm not directly beside them. There should ideally be a one stall gap. Not that I'm afraid of them looking, as I said, everything is good there (if your into that sorta thing), in fact, I'm not afraid to show anyone, I may just wave it at someone on my drive home from work. At a stop light - safety first.
    Measurement done. The plates that is. Front: 11" wide, 12" height Rear:10" wide, 12" height. That's on a large.

    A) Your last post was full of win. :D

    B) I love you. Is it weird between us now? Not that I care if it is, I'm just asking so it looks like I do. :D :D :D

    Thanks for the measurements. Looks like, within margins of error, the size of the L and XL plates are the same.

    It's never weird. Truth is, the world is a warped place, if I make myself a little warped, the world seems straighter in my mind.

    I got my Condor vest from heroarmysurplus.com. Although I haven't yet received it.

    I did two tests of this vest over the weekend. (I bought two, one to test, one for keepsies!)
    First of all, GREAT service from FF, seriously: I ordered it late on a Monday, they shipped it Tuesday and it got here Wednesday.
    So, I also bought another handgun and a few other things from them.

    I'll be posting a full test later, suffice it to say, if they had more in my size, I would order two more! Yes, they're that good!

    Here is a shot of the vest before, during and after.

    Yes, I will have your children. However, Royal Ulster Constabulary is not the Irish Army, although they all would enjoy the geg.

    Thank you for the test and pics. As the vests are Level 4 I would be interested to see how they did against rifle rounds, 5.56, 7.62 and .308 in particular.
