My name is Melissa Daciuk and I am the Defensive Vest Lady. I have not been involved in the shooting world for too long, but have fallen in love with the sport. As a female shooter, there was not many options for me to use for a vest. I started off with an Amazon delivery vest and upgraded to a hand-me-down fishing vest from another shooter. This all started because I made a vest for my fiancé and people wanted one like it. I am now making customized vests for individuals all around.

I make my vests with a duck cloth/ duck canvas fabric, that is durable and stiff. I double up the layers so shooters have a thick and firm piece of material to swipe out of the way when drawing their guns.
