S1E10 - Paul on Body Armor

Episode Notes This episode covers what demonstrators might want to know about wearing body armor. We cover the types of armor, how to source them, how to fit armor to different body types, what you can and can't skip for cost savings, and more. If you choose to wear body armor, we recommend IIIA level vests for soft armor (bulletproof vests) or level III+ for hard armor (plate carriers). Soft armor is substantially lighter and more convenient, but only protects against handguns. We are not advocating for escalation, only for individual and community defense and for our ability to continue to demonstrate as safely as we can.
