Express Multi-Threat T-Shirt w/Armor
Looking for low-profile bullet resistant protection that won’t break the bank? The Express T-Shirt Concealable Multi-Threat offers front and back protection with maximum mobility at an affordable price. The Express T-Shirt is worn under your clothes. Similar in concept to our VIP t-shirt system, the Express armor package offers greater concealability and comfort at a slight trade-off of coverage area.
The Express carrier is made of the same 2-way stretch material as our VIP t-shirt system, ensuring a comfortable, lightweight fit. Simply add the two included soft-armor inserts and you have an ultra-discreet armor setup to protect your vitals. For full wrap-around armor coverage, we highly recommend our VIP t-shirt system.
Installing and wearing your Express Concealable Armor is as easy as counting to 5:
Locate the opening of the armor pouch at the top of the t-shirt
Fold an armor panel in half, with the fold running from top to bottom
Insert the soft armor panels in the pouch then unfold it, making sure the label faces TOWARD the inside of the vest, on the body-side of the vest. Do the same thing for the other pocket
Put the t-shirt on like you would a regular t-shirt
Throw on a cover garment like a polo, dress shirt or sweatshirt and you’re ready to go.
