I don't begrudge it to others, but personally can't imagine wearing a vest unless there were some clear and present danger, which for me there is none...

I've got the headshots covered too. I had a 2 gallon bucket lined with IIIA kevlar and have small eye slits carved in the side, and have a full head harness system to make it comfortable and stays in place.

A good ballistic helmet will cost you about $400. IIA. Then the perp wont know where to shoot you

I personally do not wear a vest, but I do own one for the SHTF/Mutant Zombie scenario.

However I did wear a 'stab' vest every day when I was working security in the inner city areas, and 'bouncing' at the local bars at night. It saved my bacon more than once in the barroom.....never needed it on the crime-ridden streets though.....funny that....
