Do you remember this?

A company in Japan called Toyobo sold millions of tactical vests using the names Second Chance Vests, Ultima, Ultimax, and Triflex. Because of deaths and injuries that occurred with vests using the zylon material, Toyobo was forced to a settlement of $29 million in court in Oklahoma.

Some of the stories of the failures include things like:

This most famous case is of Tony Zeppetella, a police officer in Oceanside, California. On June 13th, 2003, his most trusted vest using the zylon material was pierced by exactly the bullet is was supposed to protect him from. His carotid artery and jugular vein were torn by bullets. His attacker fled.

Then, amazingly enough, later in the very same month, Edward Limbacher of Forest Hills, Pennsylvania, serving in his duties as a police officer and using a zylon based vest was shot by a .40 caliber round during a drug bust. He was seriously injured, and was wearing the Ultima vest made with zylon.

Now the good news is, these vest should be gone from the market, but you can’t be sure.

The other good news is, there is light weight, waterproof, long lasting (possibly 10 years or more) vests available that will save lives in these situations, plus provide protection from knife and spike attacks as well (without heavy plates).

We hope everyone will learn more about this soft body armor and spread the word. This is revolutionary, and it is proven to stand up to the tests.
