Any thoughts on this? Is there a better deal on higher quality equipment?

Go to a shop that sells armor and get fitted for a custom vest. It will be money well spent.

Custom cut is always best for this item. Yes it is more pricey, but I have worn both custom and off the shelf. It's worth pricey!

Vendor suggestions?

Armor level recommendations for teaching?

Any other advice for someone pear-shaped like MDeng?

A1 Uniform for custom fitted stuffs.
IIIA protects against "most" pistol threats. III standalone will stop rifle but steel is heavy and cumbersome. IV is expensive but ceramic so light (er) weight and will stop AP rounds.

Some of the newer boutique manufacturers are using plastics in their armor, some of these plastics degrade in sunlight so use sparingly and store in a darker environment.

I agree. A1 sells and fits armor and IIIA is the level I would go for. It's not a comfortable item, but it does work.

Apparently you have not seen the new Armor Express, Razor panels, unbelievably thin, soft and flexible.

I believe you have experience with AE vests, but this is something altogether new.

I'd love to see it. My current armor feels like the lead apron at the dentist's office.

In like a month I'd have spare cash and I'm off on Saturdays for the time being.
