The protection of a vest is now available in a lightweight, concealable t-shirt!
This concealable body armor shirt is designed around custom, USA sourced and made level IIIA/HG2 ballistic inserts. The 7.75" x 12.75" size of the ballistics was determined to be the optimal size to cover the Cardiac Box while maximizing concealability. This is the vital area of coverage as it is not only a common target area, but is also likely lethal if there is penetrating trauma here. Injuries outside this region are more easily treated with bleed control technologies.
This shirt offers moisture-wicking, antimicrobial polyester which helps remove heat and moisture from the surface of the skin and has an integrated weight-bearing support system that is strong, yet soft and flexible.

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.


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.

*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.
