do u mean a level 3A vest or a level 3A vest with rifle plates to make it level 3? check E Bay try to bid on a level 3A concealable vest. i bought a PASGT vest form Ebay i bid for it. i might get another one from there in the future, they are cheaper then buying it from the manufacturers.

Level IIIa optional plates would be nice... I'm not comfortable with ebay for this purchase

I've never used this company myself but I read good reviews about them before: http://bulletproofme.com/

I have an Interceptor OTV (Outer Tactical Vest) from Point Blank. As the name implies its NOT a concealable vest and has the MOLLE straps on it (and is Woodland camouflage, lol). I have no ballistic plates for it unfortunately and its a little small but it was offered to me for real cheap so I couldn't say no.

Other than that, it wears well and is comfortable, I just used it for a zombie shoot since the MOLLE straps hold my mag pouch for easy access but unless a real zombie outbreak comes I have no real world use for it. A concealable vest is in my future!

Galls and Atlantic Tactical to name a couple. I bought my "oh shit" vest from Galls. Level IIIa everywhere with two ceramic plates that will stop rifles.

I have no suggestions, but I just have to ask: did you pay $25 for what you thought was a real vest?

Got my vest from Quartermaster. They require proof of occupation, police, security or such.

Have you tried ebay. This also came up when I searched. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cadil...fCarsQ5fTrucks

Best selection I have found anywhere. Not sure how customer service is or how prices compare to other places. But they are bound to have what you want.

ditto.

I'd never wear a vest I bought on ebay... There is no way I'd rely on a 'one use item' that came from unreliable sources.

That's like buying a motorcycle helmet that's only been dropped once... its protective integrity might still be intact... but who knows
