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.

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?

Had a a colleague recommend this best to me a so far it’s all he said it is. Comfortable from the first time I put it on
T
The vest's sizing is true to the provided size chart. I love the quality of its build.
D
Impressed with the fit and flexibility.

Intentionally went with this pack for maximum versatility. The soft base armor can be worn concealed with 360 coverage. Add on plates can be placed over for maximum protection, and not need for additional aide plates really. Awesome
A
Well fitting and allows for freedom of movement, not like some other vests I have worn. I would like to see some expansion of the molle system throughout the mid and lower portions, just my preference.

I recently retired from the county sheriff’s office and began working a school police department. We have the option of wearing the issued ballistic vest or our own. After much research, I made the decision to make this purchase and I’m glad I did. It was exactly what I was looking for. Lightweight and comfortable. I have referred other coworkers who had given me compliments on my vest to your company. Keep up the good work.

5’8 and 175ish pounds. Medium fits well but I would recommend sizing up. Kind of a struggle to put in my level 4 plates, but it fits perfectly once you manage to put it in. Very satisfied with the product

Shipping was very quick. This is my first vest. Quality at all stitch points looked good. I used the website sizing guide and sizing was perfect. I hope i never need to find out if it can do what its designed for. I will be much more comfortable as RSO at big events with shooters at all different levels of experience.

No complaints. Comfortable, fits well, no disappointment at all. Exactly what I wanted. Would be appreciative if someone could reach out and let me know what size level 4 plates will fit this model. The world's getting crazier by the day; I think everyone should own one.

Looks very well made and fit is better than expected. Light and doesn't hinder movement. Ordered the Large. 6'3" 205lbs athletic build.

I can't believe how light it is when I put it on, I thought, I have leather coats heavier than this. I have installed steel plates in its pockets, and it still is very light, and cumfortable to wear all day.
P
Great carrier. Fits like a glove. Very happy with my purchase.

The fit and quality construction are what this vest is all about. We also bought one of Premier's concealable vests too, and again nothing but quality. Wish I could get two more concealable vests for my son and his girlfriend, but they're not available. Hope maybe that could change!?
