According to ANSI the type 2 vest does not meet the requirement of 288 square inches it has a total of 201 square inches.
The type 3 vest does meet the requirement of 288 square it has a total of 310 square inches.
I can see where LE interpretation is going to cause some issues with this. Personally i will buy the type 3 vest so there will be no doubt on the issue.
