[QUOTE=Raellus;36473] Apparently, kevlar has a bit of a half-life. After about 5 years, the fibers start to deteriorate, apparently making the vest less safe.QUOTE]

I knew there was a shelf life, I didn't know the time frame. When I worked at the Sheriff office we had our vests inspected yearly. They never told us what the expiration date was.
