I'll measure tonight. The plates I mean, everything else doesn't need measuring, it's clearly adequate, more than adequate in fact. Not that I look at others to compare, in fact I look away. Not in a way that would be deemed insecure, in a slow, casual "I'm not interested, I have one of those" kinda way. Not lingering slow though, sort of a glance at my watch kinda speed. 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 :rockOn:

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.:HR:

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.

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.

I did tests with .22 (with rifle and handguns), .40, .38, .357, .45 and .44 (with a rifle). If I get more time this week I'll go to the other range and test it with .223 and .300 RUM rifles and hey, why not shotgun at the same time!
However, it's pretty full of holes now so I might need another vest first! HA!

But blueskies, what are YOUR plans for this week if you're thinking about how it did with those rounds? Hahaha! Don't get in any firefights in far away countries now!
 
I received my medium sized vest yesterday. I'm surprised by how good condition it is considering it was labeled "fair" condition. The elastic/bungee tie down's (or whatever) are kinda stretched out but other than that no problem. Doesn't even smell bad.

I was also surprised that the medium wasn't as small as some mentionned. I'm 6'5" and 195 lbs (65% body fat lol!) and it fit pretty good.

Now time to go test this thing against the SWAT team. I'll post back up in an hour or two with the results. Stay tuned. LOL (J/K!!)
 
Dana did you produce any interesting data on your testing? How did it do against the medium calibre? I am craving some gear but it's really hard to justify it to the wife... Unless they are a bargain I may not be able to get in the future. With the cost of plates or comparable armor being so high this might be worth it.

Crap, I ordered a medium, and I'm 5'8" and 165, haha. I'll be floating in the thing. I did order a plate carrier though, so the plan was to cut the plates out when that arrived and slap them in that.

Nah, you should be O.K. the cumberbun and straps really adjust quite a bit so it should accomidate you O.K.
I'm 5'11" 192 lbs and it fits me just fine with adjustment for bigger or smaller left over.

I thought owning body armour was illegal in Manitoba, unless you have an exemption (LEO, etc..). Please clarify? Tx!
