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...

Well worth the wait.

Well the shipping took a while, but that wasn’t the problem of the vendor, it was the USPS fault. The armor seems good so far, fit is great and as it’s breaking in, it’s getting more comfortable day after day. Overall I’m happy and would order another. Definitely would recommend to others, and I have been. Thank you.

Great customer service!

When I called in to ask about my order delay, the guy was very nice and explained why. He even offered to send part of my order in advance. Great service! I will for sure buy more stuff from your website.

They don't tell you that the vest…

They don't tell you that the vest shouldn't go pass your belly button because if it does that means it's too big you should get smaller. And because of this reason now I have a bigger vest that's way too big when I put on my belt that messes with my belt very disappointed now I have to stay with this rest can't get my money back or get smaller one.

This company is the best

This company is the best! I'm a little smaller than most of y'all! 5'9" and 160 lbs. so I got a small. It was riding on my duty belt and after wearing it once, I sent a picture to customer service. True to their word, sent a small-short (rub it in, go ahead!) :-) It worked! Best Armor out there, trust me brothers!

Thanks for the review. Glad our team was able to dial in the right fit with the small-short and that it's sitting properly off the duty belt now. That's exactly why we work through it case by case. Stay safe out there.
