This article reads like an advertisement, discussing only a specific product made by a specific company, and giving details like colors available. It should be deleted and merged with a more general discussion about body armor. How does this armor fit into the broader body armor category? What other types are available? How has it performed? Someone involved with military content on Wikipedia should upgrade this sub-standard and self-promoting content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garydave (talk • contribs) 16:16, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note, but there are actually multiple pages on Wiki that are specific to a certain piece of body armor. If anything, I actually feel this page is missing a lot of information, and could use to be expanded. For example, what units have been known to use it, when it came into service, other differences between the two versions, that sort of thing. I can probably put some stuff on here at some point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.220.107.76 (talk) 17:59, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
