Any protective equipment that is too cumbersome or causes other hazards is unacceptable.

The military Interceptor armor system may not be perfect but it is adequate.

What the heck did we do before someone decided to issue body armor to every one? I mean, even in WWI we could have strapped thick metal plates on soldiers’ chests and sent them to battle.

According to their webite, it's the lightest tactical armor in existance.

Check it out.

Flexibility

The only Level III ballistic vests that are flexible enough to wrap around the whole torso area that "move when you move". No more restricted movements when rappelling, fast roping, diving, entry work, sky diving or other rigorous activities. These vests wear like level III-A soft body armor.

Lightweight

The lightest overt tactical and only covert concealable vests offering this type of protection and coverage.

They seem to have plenty of customers. They sell it to foreign armies -- and one message board says "it's ideal for insurgents, who have to keep a low profile and move fast."
