Introduction. There are a lot of “Protestor’s” or “Demonstrator’s” Guides to Body Armor, many of them have bits and pieces of useful information but much of what they cover is either outright incorrect or dangerous information. “Demonstrations” (read: riots) have been become ever more violent over the past 1 or 2 years, the Berkeley riots of old could be considered mostly peaceful protests compared to the events in Kenosha, Portland, DC, and Atlanta. Where police riot gear, bicycle helmets, and 3m half masks were enough before, these new environments demand actual body armor, helmets, ear protection, and full seal gas masks. This guide should serve as a baseline to equip yourself for any ‘non-permissive’ environment you find yourself in whether on purpose or on accident. What this guide is not however is a handholding walkthrough on terminology and basic information that can be acquired from a simple google search. This information is based on experience through actual use and testing.
