The Discreet Executive Vest – Lightweight, Concealable Protection

Developed in conjunction with industry leading executive protection professionals, the Discreet Executive Vest is a bulletproof kevlar vest designed to provide the same protection as an externally worn Level IIIA vest, while remaining comfortable and concealable enough to wear under your clothing.

The mesh sides allow the vest to move with you, allowing for more natural movements and ultra concealability. Perfect for high-profile outings, the Discreet Executive Vest is worn as an undershirt, and all but disappears under a button-down shirt.

FAQ

Is body armor legal?

Body armor is legal to own in all 50 states (but we can not ship it to the state of Connecticut or New York).

What is the Discreet Executive Vest Made of? 

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “What is a kevlar vest made of?”, the Discreet Executive Vest serves to answer that question. The Discreet Executive Vest is a great example of how space-age materials meet traditionally tested manufacturing techniques to create a product that goes above and beyond in comfort, functionality, and concealability. Constructed from aerospace grade materials that wick sweat and clean easily in the washing machine, the outer shell is easily removed to expose the Level IIIA rated para-aramid armor core.

Are Kevlar Vests Legal for Civilians?

If you are wondering if you can buy a kevlar vest, the answer is "yes". Body armor, including soft armor vests, are legal to own in all 50 states (but we can not ship it to the state of Connecticut or New York). A civilian kevlar vest is a great personal protection tool and, if deemed necessary, should be utilized to ensure safety and security on a daily basis.

I'm in between sizes, which size should I choose?

Every Executive Vest comes with two 1" size adaptors (upon request). Therefore, we would recommend going with the smaller size and utilizing these adaptors.

Does the Executive Vest have side protection?

While the Executive Vest does offer flexible spandex side panels, there is about a 1" mesh strip (without armor) on both sides for breathability and maneuverability.

Can I wash my vest?

The outer carrier is machine washable. Simply remove the ballistic panels and trauma pad, then we recommend washing the carrier on gentle. Lay the carrier flat to dry.

Great product

Awesome product arrived quickly same week I ordered and was sized exactly as advertised. I reached out in advance with my measurements to make sure I was getting the right size so that's kind of a pro tip right there send a email to these guys and they will reach back out with a answer quickly. I find the vest to be quite comfortable the material it's made with is nice and soft and easy on the skin. The kevlar is or course rigid and doesn't like to bend but they've combatted this with these spandex zipper flaps that connect the kevlar front and back pieces. They give the vest a degree of flexibility. I imagine after some use the vest will "break in" and fit a little more free floating and not feel like I'm wearing a ballistic vest so much. Very comfortable though and even right out of the box I could wear it all day no problem. Highly recommend especially for Black Friday what a good deal.

Thr vest is great. It is hardly noticeable with a T-shirt. In a button-down shirt or v-neck the vest is very discreet. The only concern is how the vest is pushed up when you sit down. Besides that, I'm very happy with it. The only Improvement I can think of would be velcro straps to make the fit more snug; but it could be a possibility I provided the wrong size. Get one, you won't be disappointed.

Very nice body armour but it did not fit

I wrote a complaint it was way too wide. I had to pay for shipping but the correct size is being made for me. It was really comfortable not too heavy but I got one a size too large following the guide. It fits my chest but the stomach portion was way too wide. Make sure after doing the size guide you message someone to confirm or you’ll have to wait two months. It is a very nice under shirt. Very compact and doesn’t break your profile no one will notice
