OFFICIAL TEST REPORT

*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.

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).

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

If you're in between sizes, we recommend sizing up as the elastic cummerbund provides adjustments, and sizing up will leave room for installing rifle rated armor plates.

Does the Hybrid Tactical Vest have side protection?

Yes, the Hybrid Tactical Vest offers 360 degree protection with the side overlap.

Does the vest come with armor?

Yes, the Hybrid Tactical Vest includes full-size, NIJ Certified Level IIIA ballistics in both the front and back.

Can I wash my vest?

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