vest/body armor?

[pufnstuf]

only thing ive seen with shoulder guards is the Guarder US Swat Vest. is there anything else like it? hell, i was even thinking of getting hocky shoulder pads and adding velcro to the front and pack so i could attatch pouches.

I think the German kevlar vests have some if I'm not mistaken.

jgdf have shoulder pads if im not mistaken, american spear armor stage 4 have shoulder pads as well as crotch plate as well.

Remember that these shoulder pads are there to provide ballistic protection, not really for attaching utility pouches and the like. Most I've seen have just patches sewn onto them.

yah, i know there for protection, the hockey thing would be stuff on the front, not shoulder, i jsut mentioned that because they have shoulder protectors too.

Most body armour has the shoulder, groin and neck protection as options. They are not always shown in the pictures though.

You dont need shoulder protection in airsoft though.

The interceptor is commonly worn with bicep protectors these days. IBA bicep protectors even have pals webbing on them for pouches, though only enough for something like a compass pouch or something.

The vast majority of pouches do not attach by velcro. In fact, i cant think of any pouch that attaches by velcro and velcro only. Even the 'swat' tactical armour carriers have snaps as well as velcro, without the snaps, the pouch is not likely to stay put. Most pouches attach via the PALS/MOLLE system these days.

EDIT: Looks like Tiger Tactical is working on an IBA cover with bicep protectors. Something to consider. http://www.tigertactical.com/gallery...ducts/P4150001

did you manage to get one of these?

IBA interceptor (or OTV) has shoulder pads, but its hard to locate them, they're usually on ebay, and if your buying a cover buy one size smaller than your jacket.

As if you need ANY sort of armor at all when playing airsoft. It's all a fashion show.
