    2. That’s a warranty thing. A quick google search reveals that nobody sells those vests for their actual use but all of them are “nur zur Dekoration” due to liability reasons.

      If I had to guess: because it has been decommissioned and is no longer certified for its intended use by neither the manufacturer or the reseller.

      It’s for legal protection.

      It’s old stock and they haven’t verified that it still works. If you get hit by a grenade and the vest doesn’t protect you, you can’t sue the seller.

      It was probably used for decoration somewhere…? The label says it’s real, but it might be worth checking if it matters.

      Several possible reasons. Liability is only one.
      The protective inserts might also be removed.
      Degradation might’ve also reduced the protective effectiveness.

      It‘s from 1995 and not officially usable anymore. They put an arbitrary good until date on it and after that it’s decorative only.
