# Soft armor inspection after a full deployment cycle

After a long deployment our unit is inspecting soft armor panels. Some have been worn daily for months and I want a defensible standard for keep or replace.

Looking for real inspection criteria beyond holding it up to the light: deformation, panel shift, moisture, strap wear. What checklist do you actually use?
