BulletProofME.com (one our loyal advertisers with a great reputation) has just started a one-month special sale on Interceptor Body Armor and Kevlar helmets. The sale price is just for SurvivalBlog readers: $500 for a mil-spec Interceptor vest in Woodland Camouflage or 3-Color Desert Camouflage. (That is below wholesale – only possible because of a military contact overrun in these colors. So te special sale price only applies to those colors. (They do offer a 15% discount on other colors.) They are also offering a a 20% off special on military surplus Kevlar helmets: A Military Surplus PASGT helmet, in almost new condition $96, complete with a 4-Point Helmet Suspension, or $109 with a Foam Impact Liner which gives about 70% of the Blunt Trauma protection of the state of the art MICH / Advanced Combat Helmet system, or $175 with the full MICH / ACH blunt trauma pad system retrofitted. This SurvivalBlog special ends on July 3rd, or when stock on hand is exhausted, so don’t hesitate!
