My wife bought me this armor and it’s awesome. Pretty lightweight, flexible and adjustable. I’ve never owned body armor but the comfort level exceeded my expectations.

I wear this armor to the shooting range, while hunting, and when I have to go into high crime city areas. It’s really comfortable and adjustable via velcro on the back and sides. I’m able to appendix carry my 9mm while wearing the vest with no issues. Concealed carry, concealed armor, it’s the best setup I’ve found for everyday citizen protection. The customer service I received while inquiring was really beyond helpful. Great people, great product. Be sure to measure yourself before purchasing to ensure your ordering the proper fit as its not refundable.
I am 125 pounds -5’4” tall - size 32 bra and I fit in the extra small.

God bless

I ordered a custom plate carrier with Chris at VCA and it was a great experience from start to finish. Chris was in contact with me quickly and called to confirm what I was ordering was what I needed. He filled the order quickly and then made an extra effort to meet in person to make sure the fit was perfect. He is knowledgeable and offered to keep an open contact if I need anything in the future. The product is well-made, lightweight, and secure by all standards. I would recommend this company to any of my colleagues and appreciate Chris for his attentive assistance.

This provides me with greater security & protection while I perform my job.

Light as a feather and had excellent form fit as well. The neck profile is a little bit high for most of the winter clothing I wear to conceal the vest, but that is understandable. I can do strenuous work wearing it for hours on end. Adjustments were easy.

Well it's hard to review a product if you haven't used it lol. But this case I'm glad we haven't needed to use it. We for my middle schooler an insert for the backpack. It fits perfect. It came packaged well. I think I'll get an extra one for a jacket since they can't have their backpacks with them all the time. Gives me peace of mind for sure. Thank you for making these.

The service they provided me was very good vervet happy with them and I will keep doing business with this company. Thank you to the lady who was very helpful on the one with me

Great armor and fits in my carrier perfectly (10x12). Light, and I can wear it all day long with zero discomfort. I really do like the weight about 3lbs total for both pads.

Very satisfied. Light weight and comfortable. Glad I went with Citizen.

The backpack insert showed up within just a couple weeks. It's low-profile, surprisingly thin, but just as dense and durable as advertised. Fits in all my drawstrings

Fits perfectly in my bag

The design of this vest is exceptional; donning and doffing is simple and efficient. Magnetic clasps securely close, the front facing clasps are doubly secured with a velcro strap. The emergency pull works with little effort, particularly with the top magnetic clasps. The wide drag handle on this vest keeps the wearer from having their circulation cut when dragged by traditional, small handles found on typical plate carriers.

Soft armor is lightweight, accessible, covers well, and overlaps on the sides. Hard armor insert sites are well placed, easily accessed.

The vest and soft armor are flexible and breathe well. Molle is found on front, rear, and sides. Overall weight is about 12 lbs out of the box. I sincerely recommend the SHTF vest for protection, training, and duty.

If I could add anything, I would prefer color and pattern options, coyote, ranger green, od, multicam, mc dark, mc trop, etc. That is not a priority for me and does not detract from the strengths of this kit.

I am getting velcro panels for optional loadouts on front and rear and will customize the vest into a full kit with radio, wiring, and water. Based on the design and availability of these panels and accessories, it should be simple to kit out as desired.

I appreciate the quality and workmanship of this vest, no doubt I will refer many others to your products

I am reviewing the Citizen V-Shield Elite IIIA+ Men's. I am 5'11 @200 with athletic build. My measurements based on the sizing chart were between a Medium and Large. I decided to go with medium with the knowledge that I could trade up if needed. I did not have to exchange as this fits perfectly well. People cannot tell I am wearing it unless they give me a slap on the back or hug. A lot lighter and more comfortable that I am used to (served in the Marines). I hope I do not have to put it to the test but as I tell my kids, "better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it." Great armor.

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.
