The product is well made and will suit my needs. However, I contacted your support asking for suggestions on getting a bit longer side panels (I'm not a skinny guy). They offered ballistic panels bu... See more

The seem on 1 of the side panels I received split open after less than a month of using them. I contacted customer service, sent them pictures. They sent me a prepaid 2 day return label for shipping and I'm waiting for the new side panels. Notification on 5/15/26 of them receiving the panels and new panels shipped to me.

I am so glad we made our purchases!
I am so glad we made our purchases! (Got two, one for me and one for my wife.) We opted for the side panel additions. Very glad we did. These are very well made, and you can adjust them to fit you without much effort. Not nearly as heavy as I thought they would be. We have owned them for several months now and are very pleased.

Great belt and product but the belt barely fits into the belt loops on the pants, you advertise the belt being on. Also the classic duty belt is thinner than all the other duty belts leading to gear sliding around on the belt it would have been nice if that advertised now I’m stuck with the classic when I really need the molle one. Product is amazing just advertise it better please!
Great Company
Great Company! Every person I spoke with was more than willing to go the extra mile to ensure I had the proper equipment and it fit properly! 10 out of 10!

I went from having a crappy issued by the marine corps belt as an MP that after just a few hours you could feel the weight on your hips so bad, and now I don't feel the weight and way more comfortable plus the molle system is amazing in all cuz now I can customize it however I like.

Great Belt but poor design
The leather or plastic is difficult to adjust at the buckle and if you can get it to adjust, there is a gap.
A great product at a great price

My personal experience was terrible
My personal experience was terrible. The product i purchased did not meet my needs. I returned it and a refund was refused. I dont understand how anyone is suppost to know if the belt meets ones needs if you dont unclip the buckle causing normal scuffs.. its metal on metal with a tin coat of black paint.. unsat on company. Will not recommend for purchases.
Side Job Extra Vest
The items too a lot longer than expected. I understand things were in back order but it was months instead of weeks. The vest its self is fair for the price. I got it for my side jobs without paying the same price as my regular everyday duty vest. It’s a little hard to zip with the double bottom zip and personally I think the vest is a tad long for my torso so it catches on my asp baton sometimes.

“Got exactly what I needed and couldn’t be more satisfied with the product. As a Law Enforcement Officer, the Level IIIA+ protection gives me far more confidence and peace of mind compared to the department-issued armor, which is only rated Level IIA.”

Extremely well made product and great customer service. I ordered a belt that was a size too small and was sent a new belt a couple of days after.

Lost/stollen order
My purchase was lost/stollen during transit. And safe life defense was accommodating with processing a replacement, in a timely matter. This is my second purchase with safe life. I will continue to trust them with my protection needs.

The perfect vest
Easy to clean. Looks professional and aesthetically pleasing. Covers all sides with the additional armor plates. Breathable. Covers my torso perfectly. Great patch prompts. Broad shoulders so It wasn't too thick for me up top. I'd say the price is right around market price. This purchase was justified. Recommend 10/10.
