I have a newbie question to ask here so dont flame me lol....

I was wondering if I bought a bullet proof vest that is light and small enough to wear underneath a long sleeve shirt and leather jacket, will it keep me warm enough in the winter months???


and also in the summer time will I be too hot?
 
It will also keep you permanently moist, with a locker-room aroma; since a vest doesn't "breathe", it's like wearing Saran Wrap.
 
Ok, thanks for your answers....

I was thinking of this in comparison to motorcycle riding jackets.....as some are made for warm weather use and other are used for colder weather
 
I once went out on a night patrol last December as a gunner wearing only my body armor, helmet, regular uniform, and flight gloves. It was about 35 degrees or so and I was up exposed to the wind. Sure, I wasn't happy, but I wasn't hypothermic, either. It was a really cold night, though; all of the Iraqi Police officers who were supposed to be out manning checkpoints had gone home to stay warm. :mad:
