Overt or Covert: Your choices in Body Armor
It is important to understand what is meant by ‘body armor’. Put simply, body armor refers to any personal protective equipment that you wear, from bullet proof vests to ballistic helmets. Vests are the main product available, and the one you will be most likely to use. Bullet proof vests are available at a variety of levels and in a number of different styles, though they can largely be split into two distinct types: covert and overt. Covert vests are designed to be worn underneath clothing, making them useful for people who need to stay discreet. As any good prepper will know, disaster can strike at any time and it is important for you to be able to react wherever you are. This is why bug-out bags are so highly favored by survivalists, and why a covert vest can be so useful. Wearing protection in your day-to-day life means you will be protected in any situation, and from shootings to car crashes you can stay protected.
