![]() SAS San Diego cut concealable armor with the pretty comparable SLXIIIA is $100 cheaper. The US made Safelife hyperline is $1000 for normal market price. Safelife FRAS uses alumina ceramic discs, in case you were wondering why I was specifically specifying the SAS Hexar in alumina for a fair comparison, as SAS does offer a lighter yet more expensive boron carbide option. The design of the Hexar discs are superior to the Safelife FRAS, which is more reliable. All of their overseas products tend to cost more than they should.įor example when comparing the Safelife FRAS to the SAS Hexar, you’re paying $500 for a 10x12 FRAS wheras the Hexar 10x12 is $350 for the ICW alumina model or $425 for the standalone alumina model. Their FRAS is a inferior designed Italian knockoff of the Stealth Armor Systems Hexar HFRAS. ![]() The IIIA (IIIA+) are made in China with overseas brands of aramids, which are known to be thicker and heavier than US branded aramids. The rest of their armor is made overseas. If I recall, Safelife only has one US made armor product which is their hyperline which they recently released and it’s more than likely just a rebrand until I’m proven wrong that they have their own armor assembling facility. Safelife is marketed primarily towards LE and security agencies. ![]() What you don't seem to be getting from what people have been trying to tell you, is that nobody is saying "it doesn't work" - The issue is if you are looking for something more than mediocre, there isn't a reason to go for Safelife, whether you are in the market for thinner, lighter, higher quality stuff, or looking for something reliable at a reasonable budget. What they are very good at however is marketing, and as we all know marketing is king, and a lot of people are easily impressed because they have never seen a vest getting shot for more than one mag dump. Heavy aramid UDs taped together, no architecture, no perimeter stitching, is not impressive at all. You very quickly find patterns in what's well built, what's cutting edge and what's just industry average.įrom every metric their stuff is mediocre at best, whether it's build quality, areal density or price.
