Bullst proof plating doesn’t really come in a wide variety of sizes
Proper stuff does.
When I was in the police my body armour was fitted, the plates went down to about an inch above my waist
Not sure why you got down voted for simply speaking your experience
I want to preface this by saying that I personally did not downvote.
But the reason is not that hard to discern.
saying that you used to work for the police is basically the same thing as saying you used to work at a puppy grinding factory.
sure. you may be better now but you were still grinding puppies in your story.
Who knows. Yeah the plates came in fixed sizes but they made sure you were properly fitted with the most appropriate size for your height and body type
As a tall guy myself, it may be that they have no options for anything bigger. You know how hard it is to find shirts in 2X Tall? Big & Tall don’t sell tactical gear, and, in my experience, only caters to the “Big” while forgetting about the “Tall.”
Stuff’s not exactly designed for “fatties”. /s
I really didn’t mean that but it kind of looks stupid as hell if your 6 ft 5 inches tall and weigh 300 lbs and you are wearing a vest that is about the size of a childs book. And not even protecting anything other than a little bit makes no sense to me. For protection would you not want something that covers at least a bigger portion of your body?
It’s the perfect symbol for “wishful thinking”.
Question to people downvoting this. I thought the community is called “no stupid question” to encourage questions that people would otherwise hesitate to ask. Downvoting them sends mixed signals, doesn’t it?
The downvoting isn’t because the question is stupid.
Ignoring the bulletproof vests for a moment, they usually have the clothes from before they got that big. It’s not like your habits suddenly change, they’re usually always slowly growing until something clicks and they go on a diet.
