How long does a vest last?

0

A. Properly cared for, a vest should last quite a long time. Aramid (Kevlar) based vests generally have a service life of 5-7 years depending on the body armour manufacturer whereas UHMWPE based vests have a service life of 5-10 years. It is likely that after 5 years technological improvements will provide improved levels of protection at the same or lesser weights.
