Do You Keep Your Body Armor Tails?

[Mr310]

I just don't see the point to them. The vest doesn't seem to be riding up, even in a car. Will I regret it?

[IrishJoe3]

Nope. Cut them off years ago.

[1CavScout]

Always cut mine off, or if I was able I ordered the vest without them.

[davedog665]

Kept um don't know why.

[Scott5182]

Nope, cut them off..... If you keep them, you will find that they just add to the discomfort. Especially in the heat.

[qdx450]

does anybody know what their for?

[Socaliente]

Gonna cut mine off right now.

[HP911]

Some coworkers cut them off. They've never bothered me so I just leave them. I thought I heard they were there to stop the vest from moving around.

[<IXOYE><]

I keep them. Helps when I have to go "keepers off" and then tuck my shirt in afterwards. Kinda just give a tighter fit. I dont mind em.

[WARTFROG]

Snip snip

I tuck mine into my drawers. I tried folding them up but the vest moves more. I'll be keeping mine.

I use those flaps as a napkin to wipe the grease off my hands in the Armory. Possibly, if you have an off-duty job at a nudist colony, they might serve as a breech-cloth set for front and rear if you can ride the vest down low enough.

Sorry. I couldn't help myself. I leave them alone: the armor looks so ratty when you hack them off.
