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

ProMAX
Concealable - 100% Aramid Kevlar / Twaron
|
Pro-tection
to the MAX Coverage
A
very comfortable vest, constructed with the aramid fibers DuPont Kevlar®
or Twaron®. 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 you want.
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 stiff and bulky
on your body.
- ~3 to 5 lbs.
(~1.4 - 2.3 kg.) depending on Level and Size. All that extra coverage
does weigh just slightly more (also we quote actual weights not "imaginary
specifications"). If you buy a vest based just on weight you
are likely losing coverage! To save weight, go with our 100% GoldFlex®
vest, below.
Level III-A
Aramid
Standard vs. Premium Option
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.

ProMAX
Concealable - 100% GoldFlex®
|
~ 30%
thinner than standard Kevlar vests!
100%
GoldFlex® to make
a super-light, and 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).
Level
II is incredibly light, thin and easily concealed - the best
choice for concealment under very light clothing...
Level
III-A in GoldFlex® gives you
more protection with concealability BETTER than an aramid Level
II Kevlar vest.

of course!)
- Often
it is helpful to have a white carrier for concealable wear
(just in case the vest peeks out of an open collar). And if
you could be throwing on a vest, un-concealed, at night, a
dark color is advised.
