Measurement Instructions
We care that you get a vest that fits you correctly. Please help us by taking your measurements as instructed below.
Please use inches and round up to the nearest inch.
For Covert armour: please take the measurements worn over a simple base layer.
For Overt Armour: take the measurements wearing the uniform/clothing you are most likely to wear.
Side Coverage: It is ideal to have the front and back panels close to touching at the sides. This provides almost full wraparound coverage, without overlapping which would cause a bulge under your clothing. You may want a small gap to allow more freedom of movement and
ventilation.
Front Length: All vests are designed to cover the vital organs, not the entire torso. It’s also
important not to get a vest that is too long. If it is too long and it will hit your belt when you sit or
bend and push up into your throat and restrict your breathing.
