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).

 

bullet    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), or if you are getting flanked by multiple assailants

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

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

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

bullet   5-Year Manufacturer Warranty plus our Satisfaction Guarantee

bullet   In stock, ready to ship, in popular sizes / models, or made-to-order in 3 to 6 weeks.

Pro-tection to the MAX Coverage

100% Aramid

A very comfortable vest, constructed with aramid fiber ( 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, sizes come in 2" (5 cm.) increments on the chest and belly, and 1" in vertical length, so you can fine tune the fit for your body and preferences.

Perimeter Stitching to Maximize Durability and Protection

Besides extra coverage, our Aramid vests are stitched around the perimeter. This gives you superior durability of the vest to prevent fraying with use, and 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 3" 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% woven p-Aramid. 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 8.7 mm thick and NOT recommended where maximum concealability is important. But, if you don't need the 7.5 mm thinness of our Premium aramid vest, you can save ~ $100.

  • Ideal for exterior-wear vests, or protecting a lot of folks on a budget.

100% Gold Flex® or Gold Shield®

~35% Thinner than standard Aramid vests!

100% Gold Flex® or Gold Shield® to make a super-thin vest that is as comfortable as our premium 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, flexibility, comfort and concealability.

GoldFlex / GoldShield provide slightly better blunt trauma performance than Aramid.  Another advantage is being intrinsically waterproof and positively buoyant (Aramid is neutrally buoyant).

Gold Shield® is Honeywell's latest upgrade of GoldFlex® technology - slightly better flexibility than Gold Flex for incredible comfort, and slightly better ballistic / blunt trauma performance.

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

Level III-A gives you more protection than Level II with conceal-ability even BETTER than an Aramid Level II vest.

We recommed buying a vest based on weight AND coverage area, not just weight.

Sweat-Wicking Undershirts
