Some armor has default vest sizes. Using a sizing chart you can estimate the closest generic size, however ordering with a sizing form will always give you the most accurate sizing.
Female vests should always be ordered with a sizing for a proper fit. In some cases male vests could be used, but it is usually not recommended.
To estimate your size to the closest generic vest size:
Measure your chest and add 2, i.e. 40+2=42.
Measure your waist and add 6, i.e. 38+6=44.
Pick the larger of the two, in this case 44.
If you have more than 6 between these two numbers average them out and if necessary round up to the nearest even number, i.e. 48μ40=44.
Measure your front length while sitting.
(Clavicle to above the navel)
13 to 14 = R and 15 to 16 = L
If your vest rises up when sitting, the SSBS Neoprene straps can be trimmed to raise the vest.
NOTE: In this case, please call us so as not to damage the product and void your warranty.
Understand that these are estimations for a quick fit; for a proper fit it's always best to order with a sizing form. The professionals at Body Armor Outlet can walk you through the process if you have any questions.
How to tell if your concealable body armor fits correctly: Concealable body armor should cover your center mass vitals, and achieve anywhere from a 2 inch gap on each side (for the most mobility) to overlapping of the ballistic panels on the sides where the front and back panels meet (for the most protection).
The first thing to remember when trying on vests is that your front panel should always lay over your rear panel as threats typically come from in front of you, and this ensures that the overlap on the side of the vest is rear facing.
A correctly sized vest will cover you from 1-1.5 inches below the top of your breastbone, to 1-2 inches above your navel (belly button) in length. The width, as mentioned earlier, should achieve anywhere from a 2 inch gap to 1" of overlapping where the front and rear panels meet. Your personal preference may dictate minor variations in comfort, mobility, concealment, and protection.
A vest that is too small for the user will lack the needed coverage to ensure proper protection with large gaps of coverage as well as being too tight and constricting, whereas a vest that is too large will shift, bunch, and crumple while it's being worn, causing pinch points and poor protection. It is a crucial step when buying body armor to ensure that it fits properly so that it performs at its peak level.

Picture the face of an analog clock which displays the time through the use of fixed numbered dials and moving hands. 1st generation OC sprays only deploy upright between the clock's 10 and 2 dials. 2nd generation OC sprays increase target acquisition with the addition of 1/2 second bursts deployments between the clock's 4 and 8 dials. The 3rd generation Crossfire will deploy continuously from any position or dial on a clock to maximize target acquisition when encountering dynamic subjects.
Features:
Crossfire will deploy vertically downward or upward, from a horizontal position, if needed.
Inert training units featuring Crossfire Technology are also available.
Officers can now increase their safety and reduce control and restraint challenges with Crossfire which permits continuous OC deployment from any position.
Formulation: Water soluble Oleo-resin Capsicum (OC) and ultraviolet making dye. The formulation is non-flammable and electronic immobilization device compatible. Each canister is stabilized and contains an operating pressure of 140 PSI.
Labeling: All canisters are labeled with a protective Mylar over lamination cover which resists wear and water damage. Canisters are labeled with the shot pattern, batch number, serial number and expiration date. Individually serialized canisters permit easy identification and link to formulation batch numbers for quality assurance tracking.

SABRE PEPPER SPRAY - "Making Grown Men Cry Since 1975" Security Equipment Corporation (SEC) is the family owned and operated U.S.A. manufacturer of SABRE pepper spray and SABRE safety products. After numerous requests, market research and testing, we decided to introduce SABRE Law Enforcement Aerosol Projectors in 1997. Agencies worldwide have switched to SABRE products because of SABRE's product performance, independent laboratory testing, quality control, HPLC guarantee, training and service. Security Equipment Corporation now operates four (4) aerosol lines dedicated exclusively to producing aerosol irritant projectors (AIP). We believe our exclusive focus on this category, our 35+ years experience and commitment to producing the best AIP possible; have made Security Equipment Corporation the global leader in our respected category.
Ultimately, most agencies have switched to our products due to performance and safety aspects. SABRE provides officers with the best AIP and the best chance to gain control of "goal oriented", alcohol and/or drug induced and emotionally disturbed subjects without the need to escalate to a higher level of force. Our commitment to research and testing will only allow us to improve on our superior products as we move forward. Our ultimate goal is officer safety and agency satisfaction.
