Using the GH Armor Talon 3 Body Armor is quite straightforward. First, select the appropriate carrier, either a concealable one or an external carrier based on your mission needs. Make sure the armor fits you well and adjust it according to your body shape. The ballistic suspension helps keep the panels in place, so there's no need to worry about sagging or curling. When it comes to maintenance, since it has a water - resistant panel cover with heat - sealed seams, it can withstand some water exposure. But try to avoid long - term submersion. The patented ProTect™ internal ballistic desiccant helps manage moisture, but if you notice it's been in a very humid environment, let it air - dry. This armor is made in the USA and certified to NIJ Standard - 0115.00 for spike resistance, so you can trust its quality. Just remember, it's made to order with a 30 - day lead time, so plan ahead. Also, choose the right level of spike protection and the design that suits your gender from the available options.
