Too Many Choices? - Just get your measurements and CALL US!
We are happy to explain the pros and cons of the options.

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.

Almost identical to the mil-spec Interceptor OTV below, but made to the ever so slightly thicker NIJ Level III-A standard (for Police Departments that must adhere to NIJ standards).  Level III-A is tested to stop .44 Magnum, instead of the extra Fragmentation testing in the mil-spec.

Camo Outershell Carrier

Overstock Special $ 30

An extra carrier is a great investment if you rip your vest hopping barbed wire, etc., etc. ... or just want to have another color option.

We have an overstock of Camo outershells from a military contract overrun, so we are providing these Brand-New carriers at a give-away price.

Just the torso carrier- no accessory components or ballistic material. Thus your vest would keep the same color on the collars that you have now.

These carriers are also great for paintball vests, or a load bearing vest (the back Rifle Plate Pocket is a super-sized hydration pouch).

ProMAX "Turtle" Jacket

"An OTV on steroids"
  • We call it the "Turtle" as it offers MAXIMUM practical protection, while preserving mobility.  (The most coverage you can get in a vest, short of a bomb suit.)

  • You add a couple of pounds of weight, but compared to the Interceptor mil-spec, (OTV), it offers much more coverage and protection:
    •  2" - 3" higher coverage under the armpit
    •  2" more coverage lower on the back
    •  4" Over-the-Shoulder Protection (vs. 2" wide on OTV)
    •  3" high collars vs. 2" tall

  • Front opening jacket style modeled on the PASGT vest, but with more flexible, comfortable and protective Level III-A aramid / Kevlar protection. Overlap front closure for seamless, double-breasted protection.

  • System includes:
    • Vest with with Rifle Plate Pockets
    • Extra-high Collars sewn-in
    • Generous Over-the-Shoulder Protection
    • Velcro-Detachable Groin Protector
    • Hydration Pouch - a 9" by 11" Camelback pouch on the rear
    • MOLLE web strips to attach pouches all over the front and lower back area

  • 10" by 12" Rifle Plate pockets on the front and back (~25 by 30 cm.). This upgrades the Rifle Plates area to Level III or IV rifle protection. Oversize Rifle Plate Pockets also available. Rifle Plates sold separately.

  • Certified to NIJ Standard 01.0104 / .05 in Level II and III-A.

ProMAX Upper Arm Protectors
& Forearm Protectors

Upper Arm Protectors
PHOTO Gallery Page

Also known as bicep protectors, this modular set plugs your vest's armpit / shoulder gap by adding Velcro-detachable Upper Arm Protection. Covers the Bicep, Tricep and Deltoid in Level III-A protection.

Easily attached to Interceptors / OTVs, and all of our Tactical vests, with a strap to the vest at the shoulder, and elastic/Velcro around the bicep.

Protecting the upper arm is important, but most critical is the fact that you now have good cover for the shoulder and armpit gap that is open by necessity on all vests.

For very exposed positions, e.g., turret gunners,entry teams, etc., etc. we also offer Forearm Protectors which extend from wrist to elbow, and provide very good coverage from wrist to shoulder, when combined with the Upper Arm Protectors. (To maintain flexibility and ease of movement there is a small gap at the elbow.)

Tough Cordura® nylon carrier, with many color choices, all coated for waterproofing:
