Apex Wear Armored Hoodie $50 on eBay

I took a gamble on eBay and purchased a no name armored hoodie. It says ‘Apex Wear’ and has CE rated zip in pads for the shoulder and arm area and zip in thick pad of sorts for the back. Overall construction looks great. Happy the zipper is a darker color opposed to the silver online. I’m 5 10’ about 180lbs and the large fits great. Also has a waterproof zippered inner pocket. FYI the seller never responded when I asked about sizing.

Looks good. Does it have the belt loop like the lazyrolling one?

Sorry no picture, its a loop at the back of the jacket that loops around your belt to hold the jacket down.

@Grozniy wants to know if the jacket is indeed kevlar (aramid) and exactly how much kevlar is in it. At $50 it’s hard to believe that the jacket contains kevlar, that shit is expensive.

Edit: as there is no mention of kevlar or aramid in the product name, I would think that it doesn’t contain any.

I would almost guarantee no Kevlar.

Damn, 100$ with shipping and Taxes for France
Anything equivalent in EU??

Around 100 euro’s with actual kevlar is not that bad though. I went for this one and I vouch for the quality.

Understood, but as others have pointed out, real kevlar is part of the pricing.

I’ve been looking at these?
I bought an XL version of this but is a little small. Reasonable for the cart track.
