That's funny, because every cop I talk to HATES their body armor when it gets warm out because they heat up too much. I may have been exagerating with the 5 degrees celcius (that's hot for us canadians lol) but I wouldn't want to be purposely adding more thickness to my body's layers. Plus a musculata is only open at the arms, neck and waist. Unlike a segmentata or maille, so that is your entire front and back that isn't going to ventilate.
Most law enforcement officer's vests don't go much past mid-belly so it doesn't ride up when they are sitting in the cruiser. Having your guts open to the air so to speak goes a long way in helping cool your core temperature. The musculata goes down past the hips.
Good points Rusty, but I don't see how they compare here.
