A study from the University of Wisconsin Eau-Claire has shown that police officers that wear load bearing vest carriers experience significantly less hip and lower back pain than those that wear only a duty belt.

Note: Our custom load bearing vests are dry clean only - if you decide to wash your LBV with a different method, you do so at your own risk. If you make this decision, be very careful of the detergent you choose as it will negatively affect the appearance of your vest and will cause discoloration (for dark colored LBVs you may need dark care laundry detergent). Also, be sure to NEVER put your LBV in a dryer!
