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 vest fits and wears well. Like the fact that it is both bullet resistant and slash and stab resistant. This is very important as sometime knives are encountered and not guns. The updates about... See more

I never received the item I ordered!

It's been a month or so and I have yet to receive the carrier. It was marked as delivered but never made it. contacted customer service to be told it was marked as delivered. so I'm out 200 bucks and there's no way to refute the delivery or prove I didn't get it. and Im not willing to spend another 200 just to gamble on whether or not that one makes it. Oh well we live and learn. I just won't order again...

Reliability was excellent my plates…

Reliability was excellent my plates hard ones were backlogged but the company went ahead and sent me my soft plates as well as my lateral soft plates and promise me as soon as the backlogged heart plates were to come in, they would ship them immediately as it was said it was written it was done. I received them two weeks later very reliable company.

I am really enjoying the comfort of external carrier.

My initial order was for the uniform shirt carrier, because the carrier could be shipped immediately, but the ballistic panels were on a 2-week delay. I figured this would give me a chance to look over the carrier to see if the color would match my duty uniform.
I received the carrier in less than a week, and it matched, so I went ahead and ordered ballistic panels. The web site still had the panels listed as being delayed by 2-weeks, so I was happily surprised when I received them in less than a week.
After 19 years of wearing the internal carrier, I am really enjoying the comfort & convenience of the external carrier. Thank you.

Awesome customer service

Awesome customer service! Had to complete an exchange, and they were happy and quickly helped me exchange for my correct size!
The belt itself is a game changer the moment you first put it on. Sturdy and takes some of the weight off your lower back.

Took several weeks to mail out items

Took several weeks to mail out items. When I called customer service to ask about my items, they said it was because two belt items were on backorder. I said if you have the belt, why can’t you mail me that? They said they could and then stated that next time I need to let them know in advance to mail one if it’s ready to ship instead of as a group. This was a very odd request from a company who should just mail out what they have or at least communicate what the process is in advance.

I am on my second Safe life duty belt

I am on my second Safe life duty belt. Bought the first about a year ago and then lost 46 pounds so I had to order a smaller size. Both times dealing with Safelife Defense has been a breeze. Highly recommend Safe Life for your law enforcement needs

Ultimate Tactical Belt!

Hello, in my opinion I really liked your product, the material its made with, how it looks and the idea of being able to remove the outer layer while keeping the inside layer in the jean loops... I believe its extremely useful and versatile, especially considering I have a disability. The things I did not like is that all of the advertisement for a for a tactical belt makes you think or believe its a very strong belt that can hold all of the accessories all around without folding or bending at all, unfortunately its not as sturdy and the price is quite high, also one of the things I dislike and am sure you all will be able to solve and improve is that the part where the belt loops around or through the cobra buckle, it forces the buckle to be twisted at an angle and is extremely visible and uncomfortable...

If only it could fold through the buckle without it sticking out or in would be wonderful, other than that it is a great product...

Love my belt and love the fact that i know is a picebof equipment that all last for quiet some time.
