The Defcon 600 Denier Body Armor Shell is the perfect option for the smaller-sized player who wants that extra layer of protection under their MOLLE vest, or is just looking for some extra body armor in general. This body armor utilizes velcro and elastic straps to help ensure that it holds tightly to the user's body, and is fully adjustable to fit just about any player. It is a great way to simulate the feeling of wearing real body armor during combat without having to break the bank to have real ballistic gear.

I purchased this armor as an impulse buy, and I always wanted take armor. I want to start of by saying this armor is made for short people. Probably under 5'6" I would recommend. I'm 6' and it's small. It comes up about two inches above my navel point and even with the straps fully extended it is almost right at my neck. That's the only grip I have with it. Positives are that it's thick so ill when you get shot you won't feel the sting. And when it's cold it will help keep you warm. There are two hard foam "ballistic" inserts that fit onto the front and back. I would recommend taking them out though. Too annoying. On the front there's a large spot up above the large Velcro strap that holds in place perfectly. Last but not least my favorite. The color is a perfect OD green that matches my old A.L.I.C.E. gear so that I can get that partial old 80's load out look.
Pros:
-Nice and thick. Won't hurt when shot on the torso. Thickness will also keep you warm.
-Velcro is strong. Even while moving around it won't slip out of place
-Large fuze Velcro on the front of the vest for name taps, moral patches or just whatever floats your boat.
-Comes with "ballistic" inserts for the front and back to give that extra protection look.
Cons:
-WAY too small. I had to buy extra Velcro strips and OD green cloth from Wally's World (Wal-Mart) to extend it long enough to fit me correctly.
-Might be too thick to were you won't feel any hits. Thankfully the material will give off a nice thwack sound when it's bit to hopefully aid you in knowing that you got hit.
-Thickness could also be a problem in the hear. Overheating issues.
-This is a personal grip. There's two large square blocks on top of the Velcro that messes with my A.L.I.C.E. gear straps so it makes it awkward when using that load out.
All in all once it's adjusted it's actually not too bad of a vest. If you want that old body armor look this is a pretty good buy.

It will prevent BBs from contacting the body, but it is not guaranteed that you will not feel any pain. 3502 days ago 0

Depending on your height and weight, small for me. If you are short and basically a twig it will fit perfectly. Some one like me, 5' 10" around 220, it's smal. I had to buy extra Velcro to extend the straps and my gut makes it very snug. Still a cool buy and would recommend it.
