It’s time for a family chat.
Premier Body Armor has always been focused on protecting people and their loved ones. What started with the military transitioned into Law Enforcement, eventually leading us to where we are now, with the belief everyone should be empowered by peace of mind.
Here’s the deal, when Frank started his company over 30 years ago, he had no idea it would come this far. With a military contract for armored vehicles, he built a company with expertise and passion that would come full circle to protect the homefront. Building on that experience and ingenuity, PBA has a full line of personal protection products for everyday civilians. Each product is designed and manufactured with the same quality that went into protecting the men and women who protected us and our country.
Now, we offer armor to both Law Enforcement and civilians. From armored vests for private security to backpack panels for school safety, we hold true to our mission of inspiring confidence in our community through innovative, American-made armor solutions. We work diligently to integrate personal body armor into everyday life, de-stigmatize the perception of armor, and educate on the imperativeness of armor.
Ultimately, this unrelenting passion is the driving force for a greater evolution of personal protection. We’ve laid a strong foundation in the years since Premier Body Armor was born, through an obsession for customer empowerment, but we aren’t stopping there.
The bottom line is, we can’t make crime go away. What we can do is offer first class resources to equip people in their everyday lives. Whether it’s to combat fear or provide greater peace of mind, we eagerly look ahead to continue providing the best safety solutions and an armored mindset to the whole family.
"For some time now we've been talking around the office about how personal safety is more than just body armor, or any single product line for that matter. Keeping safe in this world requires a shift in mindset. Now, I'm not talking about core values or morals or even personality changes; rather, the shift I'm describing here is simply a recognition that there are factors under our control that we can influence to lower the likelihood of harm coming our way. This is a mental awareness, an active seeking towards safe things and away from potential hazards. Like the armor we manufacture, we think this mindset shift could have life saving implications as well. Thus we've dubbed it the "Armored Mindset". Soon we'll dive deeper into the many ways you can armor your mindset to not only prepare for the worst, but hopefully outright avoid it."
-Alex Stewart, President of Premier Body Armor
And it only gets better. Moving forward, you’ll see an expansion in the PBA mission. We still believe in providing peace of mind, but that doesn’t just mean wearing body armor. It means learning & being aware of your environment & surroundings. You will see this obsession for customer empowerment evolve and expand, as we offer educational resources to strengthen the entire family’s armored mindset.
Wanna know the best part? This all comes back to you. This comes from our conversations and interactions with our customers, and it’s for you. We’ve always strived to create the best products, providing ways to ensure safety and a peace of mind. Looking ahead, we’re going beyond physical armor; we’re seeking to equip and empower people with an armored mindset. Why? Because family looks after family.
Great family chat, now stay safe and God Bless 🇺🇸

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
