Protect your cardiac box

The Everyday Armor T-Shirt was intentionally designed to protect the Cardiac Box, which is considered one of the most lethal trauma areas on the human body.  Blunt trauma or penetrating injuries to this area are often lethal, with research showing that over 90% of individuals with these injuries expire before arriving at the hospital.

Accordion Example with Embedded PDF
Round Velocity (ft/s)
9mm FMJ RN ~1,400 ft/s
.357 SIG FMJ FN ~1,400 ft/s
.44-mag SJHP ~1,400 ft/s

In addition to stopping penetration, the helmet must limit backface deformation to reduce blunt force trauma.

To learn more about the NIJ body armor standards, read our Understanding Body Armor Ratings article.

Want to see the full test report? View the test document below:

*Note: In the penetration column, "P" stands for partial penetration, meaning the bullet was captured by the armor and did not fully pass through. This is a successful result. A failure would be marked as "C" or "CP" for complete penetration, indicating the bullet fully passed through the armor.

FAQs

We recommend sizing down 1 size from your normal t-shirt size. While the shirt does fit true to size, sizing down allows for more of a compression fit which helps conceal the armor.

No. The side pockets lay completely flat when empty, so you can wear the shirt just like the original with only front and back panels.

Not at all. They’re designed to lay flat and stay discreet under polos, button-ups, or duty wear.

Absolutely! Especially for those who appendix carry, the Everyday Armor T-Shirt is a great option to wear concealable armor without getting in the way of your CCW.

The outer t-shirt is machine washable. Simply remove the ballistic panels, then we recommend washing the t-shirt on gentle. Hang the t-shirt to dry.

Great fit and Concealment

The everyday armor t-shirt is a really good fit and I dont have to change the way I dress. Its so low profile I'm able to wear it under a regular button down shirt at church with no visible indication I was wearing body armor. Even church staff didnt notice I was wearing it until I opened my shirt to show them. Its very comfortable to wear. One thing I noticed is the back panel will ride up slightly when sitting in a vehicle. But its not a major issue. The panels are flexible and very thin making it very concealable. My holster is appendix carry and the front panel doesnt interfere at all with gripping or drawing my firearm. I purchased both a white and black t-shirt for more flexibility with my clothing choices. Highly recommended and very affordable protection when you cant or just dont want to wear a big chest rig with plates.

Comfortable

As a team lead at a Walmart the last time I wore armor was in the ARMY and I never thought I would have to wear one again but after another "incident" I figure it be better to have it and not need. This shirt and armor is light and I can tell it's only going to be slightly uncomfortable during the summer. I am a little worried that if the time comes for it to protect me I might suffer internal bleeding.

Best I’ve found

I’m on a security team and my wife doesn’t want me to be fodder without something to protect me. I work in a school and don’t want to have the appearance that the school isn’t safe either.
When I put on a suit jacket no one knows I’m wearing armor. It is the best of both worlds.
One thing I’d advise is to get the white holders as the black has sweat out colors onto my dress shirts.
Yet all in all fantastic product.
I hope that I never have to find out how bullet proof it is. So I can’t speak to that.

Armor T-shirt with ballistic pads

I ordered an XL with pads not knowing what to expect as far as wearability. It fits me perfect. It’s lightweight and adorable. It is comfortable. I ordered an extra T-shirt in case the other one gets dirty. I’m glad I did. I can wash and wear and swap it out. It is not bulky. And it conceals very well. Glad I ordered this!

Love the Shirt

I ordered the Everyday Armor T-Shirt (Armored) and the Everyday Armor T-Shirt (Carrier Only). Upon receiving them, I thoroughly inspected each shirt for any potential issues. I was pleased to find that both items matched the descriptions provided on the website perfectly. The fit of each shirt was excellent, providing comfort and functionality as intended.
