I was recently tasked by the Army to conduct the test of the 30 Dragon Skin SOV 3000 level IV body armor purchased for T&E referred to earlier in this thread. My day job is acting product manager for Interceptor Body Armor.

I'm under a gag order until the test results make it up the chain.

I will, however, offer an enlightened and informed recommendation to anyone considering purchasing a SOV 3000 Dragon Skin - don't.

I do not recommend this design for use in an AOR with a 7.62x54R AP threat and an ambient temperature that could range to 120F.

I do however, highly recommend this system for use by insurgents...
