Perfect fit

Perfect fit, has lots of room for extras...I messed up, bought a ballistic plate that didn't fit.
The folks at caliber were understanding and helpful.
They facilitated a return and ordering the correct plate.

Soft Armor Vest

Purchased two soft armor vests. Ordered first one and thought excellent quality and value so ordered another just like it.Very satisfied and exceptional shipping times. Only disappointment was CA Rubber Velcro patch was not included in second shipment. A small oversight.
