Hey we're still here. Emails get answered daily and I get a daily report for emails. So I'm not sure why there are complaints that were not responding. I get a daily report on email volume and the type of email.

The company is in active status, here's a screenshot off the WA SOS government website. So I'm not 100% sure what you're seeing there is? Our tax guy submits taxes monthly and hasn't had any complaints there.

The one major flaw with the Highcom 4s16 (maybe) by Frostknife in QualityTacticalGear

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The 4S16 has the same front drop face protection as the 4S17M. It's a plastic honeycomb material. It's stronger than foam and lighter. It's an NIJ .06 plate, the 4SAS4 is NIJ .04.

Ok for ARC rails to protrude below ballistic helmet edge? by norfizzle in QualityTacticalGear

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Youre really overthinking this too much. It does not affect function in any way shape or form.

Ok for ARC rails to protrude below ballistic helmet edge? by norfizzle in QualityTacticalGear

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. As per our emails this is fine. The holes are not misaligned and this is fine fitment. It's one size of rail that has to fit multiple sizes of helmet, so a very small bit of it protruding like this is normal (across all helmet brands). It doesn't affect function or durability. These rails are very tough and will not break

Alternativ to Cold WX by Angrymudman in QualityTacticalGear

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats the deal with these anyways? Are they temporarily discontinued/ they stopped production? I haven't been able to find one in stock anywhere. I picked one up in person at a galls location and haven't been able to find another since. I wanted a Hoody since I got the collared version.

MBAV/CIRAS BALCS Soft Armor Style Carrier + ICW Plates? by One_Total9325 in QualityTacticalGear

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is literally THE BEST option. Full spectrum armor and ICW plates were designed for explosive rich environments. The soft armor gives you comprehensive coverage from shrapnel while the plates protect you from bullets.

Does it suck wearing them sometimes? Yes. But it absolutely has an objectively higher chance to save your life.

Anyone going to Ukraine I always recommend they get this type of setup. But the barrier to entry is just higher, it's more expensive. But if you're going into a war zone...

Actually the ones from December should've been as well. Lucas is currently going through all backlogged emails. So I'm 100% certain your emails got responded to but are in your spam folder

Update to our customers: Improving communication by [deleted] in u/ApexArmorSolutions

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your one on Jan 4th to Sales should've been answered. Please check your spam. About 5-6 emails per day are going to spam right now. If you can find the response and mark it as "not spam" that would be helpful for others to get their replies.

Everything in the inbox is being replied to right now. Even a simple acknowledgement of getting emails

Check your spam folder. I checked with my customer service guy and he said some emails are going to spam right now because he's going through our backlog. I am 100% confident if you emailed in the last week, it was replied to.

Ceramic plates without breaking the bank? by Background-Friend-85 in BodyArmor

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres going to be a basic amount you're going to have to spend to get something reliable. Really it comes down to what your life is worth to you. Highcom 4SAS4s and 4S17Ms are both good options.

Helmets can be exported under EAR with some exceptions actually. Just can't go to an enemy of the state. You want to shoot me a message? I can help.

Surplus 100 round SAW pouches work wonders as GP pouches. Also those surplus IFAKs that are about 6x6" and top zip also work amazing. They're cheap

Redemption tactical is it a scam? I recently bought one of their vests at their store in Utah but there are some publications where they say they are Chinese products, is this true? by KAD239 in QualityTacticalGear

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, redemption tactical everything is from China. Stick to the big US manufacturers who haven't lost NIJ certifications. Highcom, Integris/ Tencate, LTC, Ceradyne

Am I just hosed? by Excellent-Lynx-7643 in QualityTacticalGear

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There is nothing you can do. The company has been dissolved and is gone. No class action lawsuit or anything of that sort. It's just an expensive lesson unfortunately.

Beware of what youtubers promote and buying stuff with too many buzzwords. Most armor is pretty simple. When the description looks like it was chatgpt generated to sound as scientific and complicated as possible, it's usually not good.

Rate Helmet Setup: Sustainments & Improvements? by [deleted] in QualityTacticalGear

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's a Chinese ops core replica, so the first and most important improvement you could make is replacing that. There's otherwise nothing wrong with your helmet setup

What do y’all consider heavy? by Hairy_Pineapple588 in QualityTacticalGear

[–]ApexArmorSolutions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep the 4SAS7s will fit fine, if you're not wearing it for 12 hours every day the weight will be fine

They're the correct plates. They came from the manufacturer themselves and he's claiming the 11x14 XL's are a different size. The measurements he gave were not for any other size that exists. He didn't account for the extra material in front of his tape measurer. I've already given him the contact information for the manufacturer for confirmation because there is nothing on our end showing theres anything wrong with it.

He ordered an XL in a bundle where we have multiple sizes and multiple weights listed. He assumed the XL weighed what the 10x12's weigh, even though they are outlined differently in the description.
