This video tests the ballistic resistance of the RTS Tactical Hero Level 3 Concealable Vest and the Special Threats Mini Shield against various firearms. The concealable vest successfully stopped pistol calibers and shotgun rounds but was penetrated by rifle rounds like 5.56 Green Tip and 7.62x39mm. The Mini Shield, however, demonstrated superior performance, stopping all tested rifle calibers including .308 Winchester, and remained effective even when integrated into a backpack carrier.

This video from Civilian Principles focuses on building a low visibility or covert civilian loadout. The creator, despite feeling unwell, covers essential elements such as different types of armor (concealable vests, soft armor, plate armor, and covert plate carriers), knives, pistols, pistol lights, holsters, covert chest rigs, backpacks, and their internal contents, including medical supplies. The discussion aims to provide recommendations for individuals looking to assemble a discreet yet functional personal defense setup.

The Safe Life Defense Concealable Level IIIA+ vest successfully stops common handgun rounds like 9mm RIP and .40 S&W, as well as .44 Magnum and 12-gauge buckshot, with minimal backface deformation. While it can stop multiple 12-gauge slugs, a single slug eventually penetrated after repeated hits in the same area. The vest is not rated for rifle rounds, as demonstrated by penetration from a .300 Blackout subsonic round. It offers full-wrap side protection and is available in a wide range of sizes.
