I'm looking for new armor and the EVS Ballistic Ultra is a consideration. Check out this video ... I don't know if this is the "best" body armor. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not, but this might be the best video of testing the gear.
The challenge We took the BJ22 Ultra X Balistic Jersey (R1957 from EVS, www.evsgear.co.za) to a place where it could get a proper thrashing. The P&P indoor cricket arena offered a machine that can shoot slash balls at 90km/h. It’s like putting it through a motorbike accident every two seconds. The result Jody bravely took repeated hits to the body (ducking a few to the head). The impact areas on the vest (like the chest, shoulders, back, spine and elbows) definitely passed the test.
The lesson The jersey will protect the indented parts of your body - the impact on the mouldings could hardly be felt. If you try it at home, just be sure the bowler has good aim.
