Interceptor Body Armor Review

This Interceptor Body Armor (IBA) system consists of;
an Outer Tactical Vest (OTV)
two (2) Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI)
Deltoid and Axillary Protectors (DAPs)
Deltoid (upper arm) Protector & Axillary (under arm) Protector
Neck and Groin Protectors

This three-color desert IBA has PALS webbing on the front for pouches & gear
Body armor is always a compromise: mobility and comfort vs. protection
The IBA offers a lot of protection with moderate comfort,
however it offers little mobility compared to modern designs

What's killing most soldiers isn't the bullets its the sharpnel from IED, RPG's, etc. I mean I want something that would if shrapnel hit that area would help protect me from that.

@aznhmongbboyz

better at costing way more and falling apart?

[FortitudeOfHeaven]

@marineooo5 They use the Improved Outer Tactical Vest now. Same thing but less constrictive and better side protection.

[marineooo5]

Yeah. Old, but it works. They should update?

@davidsolis22 It's really expensive, it's also twice as heavy as the interceptor. Not only that, but the adhesive it uses melts or chips from extreme cold or heat. Also, pinnacle armor LIED about its NIJ certification. I heard that the USAF is going to ban pinnacle from even making deals with the military EVER. It's also been tested by The ARMY and the USMC. Dragon skin sucks, it's just a scam that will get people killed.

@airsoft3321 i will, thank for info.

@davidsolis22 I can't list any one source, but search about it on Google images and normal. It is EVERYWHERE on military, gun, gear, and other assorted body armor forums. Somewhere there is a video of a DS vest getting tested and failing (the scales glue melts in the heat of the middle-east, and they also break up when in the cold). Dude, DS is just too expensive for it to be useful.

@airsoft3321 i doubt it! show some evidence behind it

[airsoft3321]

@davidsolis22 Testing. It's kinda common knowledge. The company that makes it admited it.

@airsoft3321 What's your reference??
