Size Guide - Ballistic Vest

A vest that does not fit properly will not only be uncomfortable, but may not protect you properly. A properly fitted vest will ensure that you are comfortable, which is vital when operating in threatening environments. Moreover, a properly fitted vest should allow a full range of movement, and should not be a hindrance to any activity. This is again vital for those in physically demanding roles who still need protection. A bullet proof vest is designed to protect vital organs, and so extends no lower than the navel; it should sit just above the belly button. If it hangs any lower it may hinder movement- any higher and it will not properly protect all the vital organs.
