What's the Difference Between the Express T-Shirt and VIP T-Shirt?

When it comes to soft body armor that’s built to go undetected under your clothes, National Body Armor offers two powerful options: the Express T-Shirt and the VIP T-Shirt. Both are engineered with the same groundbreaking soft armor technology—the light, lighter, and lightest armor solutions we’re known for. But what truly sets them apart is the coverage design.

Same Armor. Different Protection Zones.
Whether you choose Express or VIP, you’re getting the same high-performance armor that’s trusted by law enforcement, private security, and everyday Americans. These are designed for all-day comfort, flexible movement, and discreet protection. However, the difference comes down to coverage:

• Express T-Shirt:
  This is our most popular option and provides front and back protection only. It’s perfect for those who want a lightweight and breathable solution with core coverage.

• VIP T-Shirt:
  Designed for those who want full wraparound protection, the VIP T-Shirt includes side protection in addition to the front and back. This offers a more traditional level of coverage—ideal for higher-risk situations or customers who prefer maximum peace of mind.

Which One is Right for You?
If you’re looking for a balance of mobility, comfort, and protection, the Express is a great fit. If your role demands complete torso protection, or you simply prefer the added security of wraparound coverage, the VIP is the better choice.

Both shirts are designed to be worn under standard clothing and blend seamlessly into your daily routine. No one needs to know you're protected—but you'll know.
