Men's Size Chart

How to Measure

Chest

Stand straight with arms relaxed at your sides.
Wrap a tape measure around the fullest part of your chest.
Keep the tape comfortably snug — leave about 1 inch of extra space.
Leather/Denim Jackets: These fabrics do not stretch. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, choose the next size up.

Sleeve

Start at the center of the back of your neck.
Run the tape over your shoulder and down your arm to your wrist.

Waist

Measure around your natural waistline using the same method as the chest.
Keep the tape snug, but not tight.

Between Sizes?

If you’re between sizes, we recommend selecting the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

Feel safer

I know this is not something a mother should ever have to worry about, but horrible things happen nowadays, especially at schools, and with this I feel much safer. We have done multiple safety trainings, and we included this with it. I feel allot better knowing my child has this with them.

Peace of Mind

Our family is made up of criminal justice and military and education professionals. Our plan is to outfit all the children in the family with these backpacks from preK to college. As a teacher, I wish school systems would contract with this company to supply school students with these, or to have in classrooms. This company was just awesome. Their responses and communication were expedient and compassionate. The company accommodated every want and need. When they sold out of our item, the owner personally stepped in to help. This exceptional experience is what we need from all companies-humanity, heart, and community. We would only be happier if there was never another act of gun violence. For now, this is another layer of protection we never want anyone we love to need, but if they do, we are happy they will have it. This is peace of mind. Your peace of mind is a worthwhile investment.
