VIP Soft Armor Concealable T-Shirt

VIP T-Shirt Concealable Multi-Threat

The best armor in the world does you no good if you don’t wear it because you don’t want to look like you’re wearing armor. Enter the VIP Concealable Armor System. The VIP looks like a normal t-shirt when worn under an outer garment (like a polo shirt, dress shirt, sweatshirt or jacket), discreetly hiding the NIJ-certified Level IIIA+ rated soft-armor panels tucked inside. The VIP is made of a 2-way stretch material that “gives in the directions that matter, resulting in a comfortable, lightweight support system for our custom soft-armor panels. The carrier is machine washable Lycra for comfort and easy care. The USA-made, NIJ-certified armor panels are carried in integrated pouches sewn into the carrier. Simply insert the panels into the carrier and put it on as you would a regular t-shirt, fasten the front/rear cummerbund, then pull the shirt material down to conceal the armor. The armor is then ready to do its job if the need arises.

Installing and wearing your VIP Concealable Armor is easy:

1. Lift the Lycra material to expose the zippered armor pouch
2. Unzip the pouch and insert the soft armor panels in the appropriate front or rear pouch, making sure the label faces TOWARD the inside of the vest, on the body-side of the vest
3. Ensure the Velcro tabs on the armor panels mate with the Velcro on the inside of the pouch
4. Zip up the pouch to secure the armor in the vest
5. Ensuring the elastic cummerbund strap is NOT connecting the front and rear panels, put the VIP Carrier on like a normal t-shirt
6. Once it’s on and positioned correctly, secure the cummerbund to wrap the front panel “wings” over the rear panel, and attach to the Velcro on the back pouch area
7. Pull the t-shirt down over the front and rear pouch to conceal it
8. Put on an outer garment such as a dress shirt, jacket, or similar to ensure the vest remains “deep cover"

As part of our belief in not buying more armor than you need, the armor panels for our VIP T-shirt carrier also fit in our Freedom concealable carrier and All-Star tactical carrier. Three different configurations with one set of armor panels.
