I have been told we should replace our body armor every 5 years. They have stated that the fact of getting wet from sweet will over time reduce the effectivness of the vest. When you think of the price over 5 years it's not all that bad. I would rather replace mine every 5 years than finding out the HARD way that I scewed up by Not replacing it.We only get one chance to get it right.
