It’s no secret, we’ve been big fans of Matt Carriker for a long time. From keeping up with 50 cal Fridays to watching the DemolitionRanch youtube sensation shoot our $300,000 armored suburban, we’ve followed Demolition Ranch’s work for years. Our collaboration with Matt all started in 2019 when we met him at Shot Show and hooked him up with some of our bulletproof can coolers.
Months later, we reached out to Matt’s manager. We were excited to show and tell Matt about many of our practical solutions for armored protection. We told Matt and his manager about our awesomebulletproof wallets. Matt then showed off our Level IIIA wallets in this Demolition Ranch video:
As we continued to get to know Matt we decided to send a k9 vest for his beloved, Demo. Yes, at Premier we even providesoft armor for dogs! Naturally, Matt had to put this k9 vest to the test to be assured that man’s best friend would be protected.
As we followed Demolition Ranch, we continued to notice all the cool, creative content he was producing. We couldn’t help but wonder, “How can our innovative solutions for everyday armor collaborate with Demo Ranch’s content for testing objects against various threat levels of protection?” Enter the $300,000 armored suburban!
We noticed a video Matt posted offering a trade for his block of silver, so we reached out to the guys at Demolition Ranch with a proposition. We offered Matt a fully armored car, a bulletproof suburban to be exact, for his 1,027 oz block of silver. We were excited to offer this armored vehicle to someone we knew would enjoy it and put it to good use. So Frank, CEO of Premier Body Armor, shipped his personal, fully armored suburban to Matt.
Weeks later, part of our PBA team flew out to Demolition Ranch’s location in Texas to spend the weekend with Matt and complete the trade. Laughter was shared, guns were shot, and of course, armor was tested. Our body armor plates were torture tested as Matt ran over these multi-hit capable plates with his 5 ton! Our level III plate bounced back as this monster vehicle marked its tread over our Premier logo:
We stocked the Carriker family with Premier Body ArmorLevel III and Level IV rifle rated plates, our new tacticalplate carriers, andLevel IIIA soft backpack armor! Knowing that Matt and his son Lincoln were big fans of tactical gear, we had custom patches created for Matt and his whole family on our plate carriers.
Our PBA team had a great visit with Matt and have loved keeping up with his experiments with our products including ourbulletproof vests, armored shield, and so much more! He truly puts our armored solutions to the test. His creative testing shows off our products’ capabilities to withstand rounds outside of the National Institute of Justice Certification. Our favorite may be the many torture tests to prove the durability of our products.
Watching Demolition Ranch show the durability of our body armor systems to his million subscribers has been a great honor for our company. We understand it's a lot to put your money and faith into a body armor solution. What better way than to actually see our products stand up to Demolition Ranch’s tests?
It has been an awesome experience for our Premier Body Armor Team to travel through the United States to meet other body armor and gun fanatics alike. Collaborating with Matt has been an incredible opportunity to inform his subscribers of modern solutions to help civilians feel empowered.

I bought the carrier, and it arrived within a few days. I was happily surprised by the low weight, and rugged construction of the Alpha Carrier. I put a level 4 plate in both front and back, both of which fit like a glove. The sizing was easy to adjust, and the one size fits most is true of this product. Huge adjustment range. Very impressed by the Fortis Alpha Carrier, along with everything I have ever ordered from Premier Body Armor. Great job, guys!
After wearing my full body armor for 30-years, it isn’t conducive to under cover plain clothes work that I do now and it is so hot to wear during the summer. I put this armored t-shirt on and it fits like a glove, but is not uncomfortable. The first day I wore it alone, but the second day I wore a form-fitting micro fiber tank top under it and it really felt good. I actually had no wetness because the bottom top absorbed it. It was a warm day, but nothing like sweating intensely with full body armor. I ordered a second carrier shirt to switch out for washings. With my gear on and plain black tactical shirt, I am so much more comfortable on my feet for long hours. I should have bought this years ago.
As someone with extensive experience wearing a wide variety of body armor in the military, law enforcement, and physical security industries, I know firsthand the challenges of balancing protection, comfort, and concealment. The Everyday Armor T-Shirt has exceeded my expectations on all fronts.
This is by far the most comfortable body armor option I’ve ever worn. The lightweight design and breathable material make it ideal for all-day wear, whether you’re on duty or just out running errands. It’s so well-concealed that it doesn’t print, even under a fitted shirt, making it perfect for discreet protection without sacrificing mobility.
What sets this apart is how seamlessly it integrates into daily life. Unlike traditional armor that feels bulky or restrictive, the Everyday Armor T-Shirt feels like part of your everyday wardrobe while still providing reliable peace of mind.
If you’re looking for everyday protection that doesn’t compromise comfort or discretion, this is an outstanding choice. Highly recommend!
PBA is awesome. I own 3 backpack panels from them. I own panels for Vertx ReadyPack, Eberlestock Fade Sling, and now the Fade Adapt.
The Fade Adapt panel is huge. Fits snug into the backpack and covers a lot. Mainly gonna be used for traveling and camping. I feel comfortable carrying it knowing I'll have a huge panel to hide behind.
Thanks again PBA for the great products.
When it comes to armor, if you want something light so you can be quick and/or carry more ammo, med supplies, etc., and still want the best protection… get these. Sure they’re not level 4… but they cover the most likely rounds to be used in an urban environment. Quit thinking Level 4 is the best and get these, you’ll be thoroughly impressed. Hell even my 10 year old loves them! Would be great for their backpack too.
Love this new little sling with the panel in it beautiful exactly how it describe on the website
Have always worn soft armor, generally in outside carrier working law enforcement and military. Needed to up protection from rifle fire. Did not want heavy steel plates. Polyethylene the ticket for weight and protection. The Fortis III+ very nice. Light, 3.4 lbs each, multi curve, comfortable, have protective coating, fabric, nice. I put them in a Agilite K19 carrier. Overall more comfortable, easier to move than the outer carriers and soft armor I have worn before. Weight is crucial in extended wearing of vest, especially when adding pouches, ammo, radio, etc. These plates really help in reducing weight and no compromise on protection. The price was a factor along with quality and protection level. These plates nailed it, don't know how you could get anything better for this price. Company is legit, background In manufacture sold me also. You will not be disappointed in the Fortis III+ multi-curve plates.
I’ve put it to use on the job as an AEMT and it does it’s job well. It keeps me at more of a peace of mind knowing I have a bit of protection going to calls and it doesn’t get in the way of my patient care.
First, I want to thank the customer support team that helped me with my return. The first sling pack was way too small. Y’all suggested another one that was larger. It was a perfect size and I love the way it hugs my body. Second, love the way your body armor fits in the sling pack. It’s a perfect pairing. Now let’s talk about the combo. This has to be one of the nicest packs I have ever bought. Honestly I didn’t know much about the Viktos brand. WOW!! Very nicely constructed. I love the fact I can put in my side x side while out on the ranch. It holds everything that might be needed.
Again thank you to everyone. Pease keep up with quality products like this. You have a customer for life! Thank you!

Fantastic Product - Armor Fits like a Glove. Also, it was very convenient to get the bag with the armor.
While it inherently seems a little bit silly to armor a fanny pack, premier and VertX are a perfect match as always. And silly or not, now I've got an extra layer of 3A soft armor to throw over one of my children, sling across my chest, etc if ever needed. It's big enough to protect vitals, and my gun rides in the socp pack as well. This is a great setup for short walks and hikes, or summertime on the boat
By far the most concealable body armor I own. I am 5’11 and 155 lbs. I got a small and was so worried that the armor wouldn’t be concealable since I’m on the thinner side, but I was dead wrong. I had a hoodie ready to throw on in order to show it concealed further, but there would be no point. You can’t see anything with this size SMALL under-armor polo on…that’s actually impressive premier. Great job.
I have wore the product multiple times now and have received many compliments on the fact that you can’t hardly tell I’m wearing it. Also it is very comfortable in comparison to other similar products on the market. I’m very happy with the product.
Fit as described quality products from a American family company.
Great shirt. Very discrete to wear. Proud to support and American company
