Vests are a type of Equipment in surviv.io. They protect you from damage and offer different levels of protection depending on which level you have, similar to Helmets. The highest tier vest available in normal mode, the Level 3 Vest, reduces damage by almost half (45%), however they don't help protect against headshot damage. Vests do not degrade as of the v0.1.6 update. Vests can be found everywhere and increase in rarity in higher levels. Level 4 vests can only be obtained by Lone Survivrs in the 50v50 Map.

Trivia[]
- In the early stages of the game, the Vests and Helmets used to have 100 health (and absorbed the damage that they blocked the player from taking). This was removed in the v0.1.6 "LMGesus!" update, the same update that added the DP-28.
