Our new production vest for Pro-tection to the MAX

What's so Special About our ProMAX Concealable?

Many concealable vests skimp on the amount of coverage of your body. With ProMAX we offer an extremely comfortable and concealable vest to give you MORE coverage – Pro-tection to the MAX-imum.

As we say in How to Select Body Armor, a lot of people are worried about whether their vest will stop the exotic, uncommon pistol threats – but what's usually more important is to cover MORE of your body against the COMMON pistol threats.

By all means get a Level III-A for the uncommon threats, but the more important factor is how well the vest covers YOUR body (and that it is comfortable and concealable enough that you actually wear it).

 

   FULL-wrap side coverage standard (unless you request a gap for ventilation). Maximum side protection under the armpit (one of your most exposed areas if you use a Weaver, side-angled stance)

   Superb workmanship, without a lot of unnecessary (and expensive) cosmetic glitz.  Soft Sweat-Wicking Liner to maximize comfort.

   Available in 2" belly size increments so you can get an exact fit

  Laboratory-tested to exceed the latest ballistic standard NIJ Standard 0101.05

  5-Year Manufacturer Warranty plus our Satisfaction Guarantee

  In stock, ready to ship, in most sizes, or made-to-order in 2 to 6 weeks.

Made in the USA

100% Aramid Kevlar® / Twaron®

A very comfortable vest, constructed with the aramid fibers DuPont Kevlar® or Twaron® ( 100% all woven p-aramid ). Unlike many other brands, our ProMAX Concealable is generous on coverage, and we take great care to work out sizing with you, so you get the coverage and comfort you want.  Unlike many other companies, size come in 2" (5 cm.) increments on the belly so you can fine tune the fit on the sides.

Perimeter Stitching to Maximize Protection

Besides extra coverage, our aramid vests are stitched around the perimeter, to better stop shots close to the edge of the vest. The NIJ standard testing does not cover shots closer than 3" (8 cm.) to the edge of the vest. Take 2" off all around the edge of a vest, and see how little coverage is left! One of our perimeter stitched Level III-A ballistic panels stopped a 9mm sub-machine-gun round in combat in the Balkans, just 1" (3 cm). from the edge of the vest (one of three bullets stopped by that panel!).

• 100% aramid Kevlar® or Twaron®. Unlike others, we don't use any plastic stiffeners to make a cheaper vest that looks a little lighter on paper, but feels stiffer on your body.
  
  
• ~3 to 5 lbs. (~1.4 - 2.3 kg.) depending on Level and Size. All that extra coverage does weigh slightly more (and we quote actual weights not "imaginary specifications"). If you buy a vest based just on weight you are likely losing coverage, or buying a vest that just barely passes NIJ standards, instead of passing with a significant over-performance.

The Standard and Premium Aramid options both have the exact same generous cut and construction, but the Standard is a slightly thicker ballistic fiber. Both are NIJ-Certified Level III-A with our unique perimeter stitching, and generous coverage.

• Standard is 9mm thick and NOT recommended where maximum concealability is important. But, if you don't need the 7.5mm thinness of our Premium aramid vest, you can save over $ 100.
  
  
• Ideal for exterior-wear vests, or protecting a lot of folks on a budget.

100% Gold Flex® or Gold Shield®

100% Gold Flex® to make a super-thin vest that is as comfortable as our standard aramid vest, and even more concealable. Unlike many other brands, NOT a blend of GoldFlex® and other materials, but 100% GoldFlex® for exceptional lightness, thinness and concealability.

GoldFlex even provides slightly better blunt trauma performance than aramid Kevlar / Twaron.  GoldFlex has another advantage in being intrinsically waterproof and positively buoyant (Aramid Kevlar / Twaron is neutrally buoyant).

Gold Shield® is Honeywell's latest upgrade of GoldFlex technology - even better flexibility and blunt trauma performance

Level II is incredibly thin and easily concealed - the best choice for concealment under very light clothing...

Level III-A in Gold Flex® gives you more protection with concealability even BETTER than an aramid / Kevlar Level II vest.
