Female Body Armor

PatrolPhotos 6

You don't need to have majored in biology to know that men and women are not created equal-in measurements, that is. That's why female officers need ballistic vests made especially for their unique shapes. And now that women make up a more significant amount of the market share in law enforcement, body armor companies are taking notice.

Armor Express offers structured armor for women with built-in cups, and female carriers with 12 points of adjustment for an exact fit that won't flatten or smash delicate breast tissue. Evolution carriers are lined with anti-microbial and odor resistant fabric. An Interior Microfiber "wearstrip" cosmetically enhances and creates greater durability.

US Armor uses nine standard measurements to create a custom vest for a woman, as opposed to six standard measurements for a male. This is because it's much more complicated to contour a woman's vest accurately to her chest. US Armor's female Enforcer vest is available in NIJ levels IIA, II, and IIIA.

Safariland's Savvy Retro utilizes thermal-forming or radial offset pleated shaping technologies. This traditional-style carrier offers a flat, smooth look and feel. The stretch microfiber helps keep the panel snug against the body, especially for larger-chest women. The Retro utilizes a traditional shoulder and side adjustable strapping system and can be purchased with a four-point or six-point strapping system.

Because not every woman wants a black ballistic vest, Armor Express offers the Equinox carrier, which comes in white or pink. It's compatible with the Halo, Emperor, and Quantum ballistic systems. With every purchase of a structured female vest, the company will donate a portion of the proceeds to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Specially engineered for female officers, PACA's Liberty vest has a proprietary design and contoured construction to accommodate a female's natural shape while providing optimal freedom of movement without compromising safety. Features include an innovative ballistic panel suspension system, multiple sizing points, and temperature-regulating Smart Fabric Technology. PACA's Liberty is available in eight outershell colors. PACA will donate a percentage of proceeds from the sale of every Liberty vest to help fight against breast cancer.
