ProMAX Concealable
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

Pro-tection
to the MAX Coverage
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.
Level III-A Aramid - Standard vs. Premium Ballistic 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.
100% Gold Flex® or Gold Shield®
~40%
Thinner than standard Kevlar vests!
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.

When
comparing weights - please be aware that we quote ACTUAL weights
for a normal size Large 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
recommed buying a vest based on weight AND coverage area, not just weight.

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...

Get
an extra, washable vest outershell carrier, so you can have
one on the vest, and one in the laundry. (Not bulletproof
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.
