Interceptor Body Armor
Guns and ammo are hard to find these days due to high demand which has led gun owners to stock up on other gun related things. I have noticed an increase in body armor talk amongst the gun community and wanted to do a quick review of a recent purchase. The interceptor vest or OTV(outer tactical vest) was used by the US military for most the 2000's but has since been replaced making them very available for surplus buys. Most interceptors like mine were made by Point Blank Armor. The vest without trauma plates is rated to stop 9mm and fragmentation. The vest itself is very comfortable to put on and has straps and Velcro to help adjust to your body. There are multiple accessories you can get for the vest for both tactical aspects and protection. I would recommend this vest over a plate carrier that most people seem to be buying just for the fact that it does have Kevlar inserts that will help prevent penetration from certain bullets and any ricochet off a plate. If you plan on buying the vest online you will want to make sure it comes with the Kevlar inserts that are made by Point Blank and have a more recent manufacture date.
