It's pretty... but not much protection?
Why not go with a light-weight kevlar vest instead?
I actually did get a chest plate with leg flaps etc that covers the sides and offers quite a bit more protection than this breast plate but is still effeciant for summer hunting, however there is a hold up on getting it. This breast plate is not ideal for a lead in cd like i hunt but better than just the colar i'v been using lately. The reason i got this is because of a few reasons ... the one layer "summer style" kevlar vests i have used dont hold up great on a bad hog, rub the arm pits raw and i honestly justed wanted to try a new flavor since, I already have a few 2 layer kevlars that are o.kl ...but the main reason I got this is because the chest plate i ordered (7 layer turtleskin) thats thinner than 2 layer kevlar is not available for a month or so because the turtleskin is not easy to come by, i think it will be worth the wait for summer. check out the turtleskin products, (tighter weave in kevlar) it awesome for light wt. cut protection
