Body Armor?

One of my sons is about to become a LEO and the protective vests his new department uses are big, bulky, hot, junk. Was thinking of getting him a good one for graduation. I understand threat levels but don't know who makes good units or why they are good. Thanks for any info.<br>Randy

Randy,<br><br>Welcome to The Survival Forum. I think body armor is probably a bit off topic for this forum. Suggest you try someplace with a LEO focus such as http://www.officer.com.
