Level IIIA Body Armor

I've been wearing body armor since 1995 in Security, Law Enforcement, Executive Protection and EMS fields. This is, by far, the lightest, most flexible, easiest to wear armor I've ever worn. The shirt with its integrated shoulder straps fits tight, but not suffocatingly so. The armor panels are thin and flexible, and I don't even notice the side armor panels they are so light. In this 100+ heat index we've had the last few weeks I've stayed cool and comfortable with this shirt and armor. If I wore the provided outer ballistic vest at my work I'd be sweating an ocean. I have zero cons for this 360 armor shirt and ballistic panels. If you want to be actually comfortable with armor on, get the 360 shirt with side panels. I can't recommend this product and Premier Body Armor enough. I've used many brands of body armor, inner and outer vests and accessories (backpack armor, etc). Premier has been the best value, the best at innovation in the field and by far the best customer service. Don't go anywhere else for your armor and armor accessory needs.

My recent purchase of the everyday armor with side panels is probably one of the smartest, and most flexible LE safety purchase I have made. The sizing is perfect, the panels are easily exchangeable from black, duty use , to white for normal and suit and tie applications. The weight, profile, and comfort of the product enables it to be worn all day with no straps visible or chafing in common areas. Even with a tapered fit white shirt the vest is seamless, comfortable and almost impossible to notice. Even fellow officers were unaware I was attired in body armor, and did not believe me until I showed them and directed them to your website.
Thank you for creating a long-time overdue product that allows LE personnel and civilians alike to be prepared for safety and the appropriate response as necessary. My Captain says the two safest things an officer can do to help insure his safety is "to wear your seat belt and wear your vest. Your products are greatly helping us accomplish this task.
Thank you!

I have been wearing body armor of one kind of another since 1985 and even though I wear the larger 2XL size, I find this vest to be one of the best! It is highly rated and comes with a great guarantee. It does take a while to get used to, but once you're wearing it, the vest feels fine. The 2XL does weigh 7 pounds and that takes getting used to, but the coverage is great. The panels are standard size with the tight fitting carrier. I would recommend Premier and this the executive model to anyone in the law enforcement, security, military, executive protection, and high threat environment communities who needs to protect themselves.

Bought for my wife, she loved it. We were both impressed with the fit and finish. It’s not too bulky and also very discrete. She did not know it was bulletproof when I gave it to her. 5/5 would recommend.

I'm a Police Officer in NYC, former active Comms Marine now still serving in the Reserves. I've spent a lot of time wearing armor and equipment, but by far none more comfortable than the Everyday Armor T-Shirt. Wearing mine every day allows me to have a peace of mind every time I step out my door.

I’ve been a law enforcement officer for 33 years and this is by far the most comfortable and concealable armor I’ve ever worn. The most effective armor is that which you are wearing not the stuff in you trunk or closet. Stay in the fight!

It's solid. And functional. Strong but not too heavy. In the sort of scenario where such a thing could be beneficial, it becomes an effective gap closer. The play might be an offensive strategy. Any gear that boosts confidence might just be the edge you need. Thank-you, Premier, for finding a sweet spot between "advanced tech" and affordability. Excellent work!

Helmet fits like a glove!! In 2 business days it was on my porch.

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.
