I am a Police Officer for a city which borders Houston. I was issued a Point Blank Vision Level II vest. I don't feel very secure wearing this vest and want to know if there is ONE vest that stands above the rest preferably a level IIIA. Any help would be appreciated.

I have read the information posted from Doc about vest but honestly with all of the choices I'm just lost.

Thanks.

Here's a link to a test that Dr. Roberts posted a while ago.

In the review, Dr. Roberts says that this particular Diamondback Tactical model is the best soft armor he's ever tested...that's about as strong an endorsement as I can think of:

Not sure if the newest vest is listed on the site yet...might have to call them and ask about it.

Thanks for the info. I called DBT and they said that the RVA3A isn't out yet so I'll just have to wait.
