I'm 5"6, 140 lbs, 30 inch waist and maybe a 37 inch chest and got the small size vest. It conceals even under a snug black shirt. It makes me look buff in my case but a keen eye can notice it. Considering concealment and what PROTEK has to offer, I thinks it's the best option for daily wear. It's worth the price.

What I would like to see is protek being used to protect the femoral artery, groin and buttocks if thats commercially feasible. Only bullet blocker offers their Gabriel Down Under Kevlar system offers a product like that. Would like to see what ATEK defense systems/citizen armor could do. Could create a more robust concealed armor system along with this vest.

I love the products you provide. There is something that can accommodate anyone depending on the need or use. It saves lives. Also great customer service. I'm a customer for life. Thank you for all you have done and will continue to do. Gives me great confidence overall. Thanks.

I bought this product for my daughter to use in her backpack. We recently had issues at her school and we weren’t going to let her be a statistic. I did my research and everything I saw pointed to CitizenArmor. I pray she doesn’t have to use it but now she’s protected if she does and she’s more comfortable about going to school knowing that CitizenArmor has her back

Alex Jones in the clutch yet again!.
I'm not disappointed with this armor. 10/10 for me.. conceals perfect under clothes an is very lightweight with comfort.

Yes the AR500 plates are solid steel, but with their rigidity and extreme weight their completely impractical for field use beyond perhaps use by a sentry post on a base.

This armor rig feels nice and solid yet flexible. Also, a huge plus to this vest is that all the straps are forgiving and stretchy. An amazing lightweight option that doesn’t compromise on stopping power.

Big shoutout to the Alex Jones Show on InfoWars for directing me to you guys. I’m extremely happy with your products.

Found out about Citizen Armor from Infowars and The Alex Jones Show first and foremost and heard really great reviews about Citizen Armor and decided to check out the site.

I decided on the Conceal V Shield body armor and was not disappointed!! The quality is exceptional, it fits very well and the shipping was very fast.

I am very pleased with my purchase from Citizen Armor and I have also told some family as well as some friends who are looking for body armor and accessories as well.

I would highly recommend Citizen Armor and my experience was amazing!

Use it in my daily carry pack and it fits perfect.

Fits nice

Nice size, well concealed body armor you can bring anywhere.

Everything I expected after the recommendation from Alex Jones on InfoWars.com
Ordering for my wife and sons next.
Thanks Citizen Armor !

I hope I never have to put this item to the test. When compared to other disaster purchases, $100 up or down cannot be your main concern, if you paid something like this for a weapon, and did your research for THAT purchase. And invested in storable food for any length of time. I haven't regretted those purchases, and have only dug into the food during the ice storm, barely. However, no power and bad weather, when you are prepared for it, they seem like good investments. I would call this the best investment I can make, but might never actually need. Thank you Alex Jones, whom I trust for his endorsements, which are very rare. He does his research, without it, there are so many armor vendors, I wouldn't know where to start. You have to learn to trust someone. Alex and his operation have never let me down.

The armor is built with good worksmanship in construction, given at least it is not created entirely by hand, but through automated/machined process. The armor is pretty comfortable, but perhaps not quite the right fit, so it might be wise to go with a size smaller if the margins are small between a fit according to the size chart, and then simply expand the armor from the waist buckling component. The velcrow straps which apply with the magnetic latching can come loose, and be lost. I unfortunately lost mine nearly immediately after unboxing my item, but the folks here at Citizen Armor were graceful enough to offer me replacements as a kindness and a way of extending a branch of peace and protection to me so that I may continue to do great things and protect what is good, as so shall I, so long as I am me.

The vest has plenty of Molle webbings, although the waist webbings can be a bit hard to work with, as the vest does restrict mobility some. The strapping which hold the shoulder pieces together work well and are effective at being adjusted without too much finnicking, although I advise you try to have the vest adjusted before using it, for best result. The waist portion of the vest uses an adjustable velcrow belt-like portion that tucks into the vest, and this is easy enough to get adjusted, but you might be putting on the armor a few times to get the right dimensions squared away. The magnetic clasps can be a bit difficult to get on, at least for my unit, which might have been a small amount oversized, at least right off the bat, but with a small amount of working with it to get it clasped, and some patience, it will work out.

As advertised, this vest comes with the ultra-lightweight and soft armor inserts, which are easy to remove and replace. The armor could have been a bit longer, to cover more of the internal organs when bending over forward, such as the lower portion of the back; You can't have things perfect in this world, and I do feel like this armor offers adequate shielding for general chest and torso protection.

Wearing this armor while also using a backpack may be a small bit challenging, as the packs I use do not seat on it properly, and the shoulder straps can snag on the velcrow clasping when taking a backpack off if you do seat it directly onto the armor's shoulder piece.

This has been my first piece of body armor, and I am happy with the purchase for it's price+value/usefulness, although, I was a bit disappointing to have it not be effective once wet with water, and must be dry before being capable of stopping bullets again, from what I understand, but I have been unable to find the hyperlink to the instructions for assembly, cleaning, storage, and overall care, and cannot be entirely sure of exactly how it functions because of this.

If you were looking for an all-in-one, ready to go piece of kit, I would advise this model, except, go for the Elite IIIA+model so long as you can afford it. Either way, you are getting a good quality American made product for a fair price; Its a pretty great situation. I would recommend getting extra armor plate inserts for any serious protection, as nearly anybody else will tell you.

You also probably want to get one ASAP, since the globo-h*m*s want to take all of this away. And stay armed, because a vest won't help you much if you cant defend yourself beyond that.

Also, I would like to thank the customer service person who offered to replace my missing straps, as though it does still technically work without them, naturally, it is incomplete. Thanks for being generous in spirit; It matters!
