I've got a couple ABA level IIIA vests that are about 5 years old. I think the warranty just expired. I've read that kevlar will continue to be bullet resistant for quite some time, but has an expiration. Will it eventually get downgraded to level III, then IIA, then II and so on, until it it useless? Anyone have any experience with this?
