Do they make a HAT to go with it? Snipers like a? HEAD SHOTS!!! LOL
Thanks………….Scouts OUT!!! (RECON)
do you have to fill out the same paper? work as a gun for the vest?
Great review,? thanks.
its amazing to? me how many people will spend so much money on firearms but have no armor
looks like it would be great used in conjunction? with a H harness style LBE
…I just read that there are now 2 different sizes ? Is one for larger people, or did they re-engeneere it to have a larger vital coverage ?? It looks like a great system, I just wish it had a different way of securing the waist straps.
Have checked out the Molle version of the U.S Palm Defender? Are the straps for the most straps properly (Squared?) where there isn’t any Molle mounting points towards the edge that are un-useable due to half a single Molle Square, also how is the stitching double or triple stitched? On the Pistol variation you have is there any “Sag” with the Pistol I’ve companies like Condor & other less quality brands sag? & sometimes toss a Pistol during running/training. Just due to not a ridged background.

?
@PRSpl4yer? Yes. $199 for just the body armor in the front panel.
Does it come with the soft armor in the vest? ? If it did 300$ is a steal…
@dramahoe The one in the review is a? regular, they now offer a large.
is that a regular or large?
Nice? review
So, I need to ask you:? do you think it would fit well with a MOLLE II Rifleman’s Rucksack with plastic frame? The primary hindrance with compatibility with said pack and vests/body armor/chest rigs is the shoulder straps. And I’d like to have body armor, rather than the standard military issue MOLLE II FLC.
@Sturmgewehre USPALM proved Level IIIA will withstand a single shotgun slug. Their video is posted on? their channel “USPALM”.
@Sturmgewehre Blunt Trauma? Protection?
@sniper4usmc
Yes, but I’m not sure what you would gain by doing that. It still won’t stop a rifle? round and a single panel will stop all handgun calibers for the most part. What were you thinking the benefit would be?
can you remove back armor and double? up Front??
I just got my US Palm vest (mollie version) and wanted? to check out what professional are saying about it. I have mine set up with a virt pistol system with my FNH Fiveseven and in the pocket some qickclot.
@fbiryujin
Keep in mind that US PALM is releasing an XL version of this vest which is claimed to offer a larger coverage area for folks that don’t really require an XL size. But yes, if you require side? panels you’ll need to consider another product.
@Sturmgewehre Thanks.? I may consider getting that. I am looking for side protection though, so I have to see how much that actually means to me before purchasing anything.
@fbiryujin
They have a version? that uses MOLLE straps so you can attach any holster or pouch you like. This model also is easily stripped down for use under clothing.
Do you have level IV armor for? a left handed 1911 user? Also can the pouches be taken off for under uniform concealment? Thanks
Omg you shot the? cameraman.
