The above reason is why I dont wear IIA. Most of the medics here do though. The reasoning seems to be some protection is better than none. I dont trust minimums when it comes to protective gear whether it be bunker gear, HEPA masks, ballistic armor, etc.

I will just stick with my PACA Powerflex IIIA for the time being thank you. It hasn't let me down yet.
