Fitting the Vest to YOUR Body

The real-world performance difference.

The biggest difference in terms of how happy you are going to be with your vest, is how well it fits YOUR body. Our ProMAX Concealable is a great vest that we help you get fitted properly, so it covers your vitals comfortably.

Not just big 4" increments between sizes, but available in precise 2" Chest / Belly size increments, and 1" length increments, (from X-Short to XXX-Long). Precise sizing means you can get a great fit for your body.  For example...

Do you want a gap on the sides for ventilation, or a full wrap (almost no gap), or an overlap for seamless protection?

We will show you exactly how your ProMAX Concealable will cover you before you buy.

How long is the vest?

There are too many "big-name" vests out there that skimp on the length coverage. If you can't get a straight answer on the front centerline measurement (bottom of neck scoop to bottom of the vest), don't buy the vest!

We will show you exactly how much vertical coverage you will see - to ensure proper coverage AND that you don't get a vest that is too long (that will put pressure on your throat, when you bend over).

What's so Special About our ProMAX Concealable Vests?

Facts	Benefit
Customized fitting, and a huge matrix of Made-to-Order sizes to choose from.	Proper fitting for proper coverage, comfort and ergonomics is the biggest real world difference between vests. Lots of companies make good armor. Very few will take the time to make sure it fits you and back it up with a Satisfaction Guarantee.
Superb 100% US-made workmanship, without a lot of unnecessary (and expensive) cosmetic glitz. NIJ Certified 0101.05 or 06 5-Year Manufacturer Warranty plus our Satisfaction Guarantee	Protection you can trust Made in the USA
Generous coverage and cut to maximize side protection under the armpit (one of your most exposed areas if you use a Weaver, side-angled stance), or if you are getting flanked by multiple assailants FULL-wrap side or overlap coverage standard (unless you request a gap for ventilation).	More coverage, more protection. 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).
In stock, ready to ship, in many sizes / models, or made-to-order in 4 to 6 weeks. (Rush / Expedite for an additional fee.)	Protection available when you need it.

When comparing weights... Please be aware that we quote ACTUAL weights for a normal size Medium vest, ready to wear. We do NOT play the artificial "weight loss" games you may encounter elsewhere, such as quoting the weight of an Small, Short, WITHOUT an outershell carrier. We recommend buying a vest based on weight AND coverage area, not just weight. All that extra coverage does weigh slightly more. 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.

Sweat-Wicking Undershirts The special moisture wicking fabric wicks sweat away three times faster than cotton. So sweat evaporates faster, and you stay a little cooler -and a lot drier - under your vest. Plus, you don't have to wash your vest as often...    White      Black Other colors, V-neck, Long Sleeve, etc., etc. available Special Order.	$ 13
Blunt Trauma Plates / Pads A bullet stopped by the vest still hits like a sledgehammer causing injury – 5" by 8" of extra ballistic protection for the middle of your chest...	$ 29 $20 when ordered with vest
Extra Outershell Carriers  Spares for the laundry, different colors, or tough Nylon outershells for exterior wear.	See Page
Rifle Plate Pockets to carry Level III or Level IV Rifle Plates. Semi-concealable, i.e., under a light jacket. Rifle Plates sold separately	See Page
Panels for Test Shooting If you would like to see how well armor works, nothing beats inspiring confidence like shooting one yourself. A ballistic panel (half vest) that did not meet our strict standards for Police Surplus vests. Not to be relied on for protection of life, but great for test shooting. You would want to have a suitable backstop for the vest. A concrete wall is too hard for a valid test, and can make a good vest fail. Swinging free in the air can let a bad vest pass. So a punching bag or other semi-soft backstop is ideal.	$ 25 TEST PANELS NOT FOR PROTECTION OF LIFE OR PROPERTY
