Exceeded expectations
5 stars. I bought the IIIA level protection. The jacket itself is excellent quality and the fit is exact according to the sizing guide so be sure to take accurate measurements. I requested the sleeves extended and they're spot on. With the extra protection it's warm to wear so keep that in mind. In IIIA: The weight of the panels is so well distributed you don't feel the extra once it's on, it is very comfortable to wear. The front panels are seamless at the shoulders. The back panel creates a flat back with a bit of an outline but doesn't protrude and isn't noticeable from the sides. Someone standing directly behind you in line might notice but walking down the street it's a non-issue. Rolling the panels as per the instructions is important, as well as the recommended 30 hours active wear. The jacket fits well under an overcoat and with the proper coat/vest the protection is very discreet. I'll be buying a IIA rated one for the warmer months soon and if you're on the fence and that's what I'd recommend. It's an incredible product and I highly recommend it.
