Kit Contents

  • (1) Everyday Armor T-Shirt 360 Carrier

Why Upgrade?

  • Side Coverage – Protect obliques and lateral organs where handgun rounds often strike in seated or crowded scenarios.
  • Cost-Efficient – Keep your current front/back panels; pay only for what’s new.
  • Zero Bulk, Same Fit – New carrier uses the identical poly/elastane compression fabric, so size down as before for perfect concealment.
  • Battle-Proven IIIA – Stops up to .44 Mag (NIJ 0101.06 lab-tested).
  • USA-Made & Backed – Made in the USA ballistics with a 5-year ballistic warranty.

Compatibility

FAQs

Can I wear the carrier without side panels? 

Yes. The internal side pockets make it easy to remove the side panels. Remove or add side inserts as mission or comfort demands.

Will I get one (1) or two (2) of the ballistic inserts?

You will get two (2) smaller, 6" x 6" panels for each side of the shirt.

Will my original panels really work?

The armor pockets for this shirt measure at 7.75" x 12.75" and 6" x 6" the exact size of the panels for the original shirt. The Everyday Armor T-Shirt panels are interchangeable with the Everyday Armor T-Shirt 360 Carrier. Slide them in, add the new 6×6 sides, and you’re fully upgraded.

Worn under 18th century clothing on horseback!

Last week I participated in Boston's St. Patrick's Day Parade on my horse, dressed like Paul Revere. Given the current situation in Iran, my mother was quite concerned about safety. So, under my 18th century kit I wore my Every Day Armor Upgrade Kit including the t-shirt, the front and back soft plates and side plates. I was pleasantly surprised as to how comfortable it was! It fit perfectly and did not bother me at all - I actually almost forgot that I had it on. It did give me piece of mind though and for that I am grateful! What a great product!

Best armor out there

Started with the everyday armor t-shirt. Than I bought the upgrade side panels. And now it feels like the total package. Super comfortable.

Amazing company and prroducts

Amazing products and customer service. Use their products on the range when I'm teaching and when I need to pull guard duty. Comfortable and made for real life usage. Couldn't be happier with the company and products and recommend them regularly to students and colleagues.

It’s a great idea and it is discreet

It’s a great idea and it is discreet. You need this if you work in an environment where people don’t understand.

Comfortable! Perfect fit, others don't even notice.

After trying out the shirt with the front\back panels and realizing how comfortable the shirt was, I ordered the upgrade kit and was not disappointed. It was more comfortable than i thought it would be. I would certainly echo the recommendation to size down one size when ordering. Consider if you will have an undershirt under this armored shirt (fits more snug and may be ideal for colder climates) or using this as a "base layer" (may glide against your skin a bit more so expect a little more movement). I noticed the side panel edges on my skin a little more than the front panels, at the right angle, they rub a little differently. But overall, super impressed with this product and yes, the front panels fit into the "upgrade kit"" with side panels if ordered separately.

360 Tee Shirt

I purchased the tee shirt with 360 protection. The fit is great and is completely comfortable. In all honesty its is the most comfortable body armor protection I have worn in my 40 years in Law Enforcement and US Military.

What's the caliber it can stop

Premier Body Armor

Level IIIA is tested to the NIJ 0101.06 standard using these handgun rounds and velocities:

.357 SIG, 125 gr FMJ flat nose at 1,470 ft/s (plus or minus 30 ft/s)

.44 Magnum, 240 gr semi jacketed hollow point at 1,430 ft/s (plus or minus 30 ft/s)

That said, it will also stop many common handgun calibers that are below those threats, assuming the impact velocity does not exceed those NIJ test velocities and the bullet shape and construction are typical for the caliber.

You can see the full test document on the product page for the exact details, and this blog post should help explain what the rating means and how to read the test results.
