Why fit matters for women
Many bulletproof vests are cut for men, so they can be too long, too wide or too heavy on a woman's frame. Armor that doesn't fit is uncomfortable and harder to hide, which means it's more likely to stay in the closet. Learn what to look for in our guide to women's bulletproof vests, and see how a bulletproof vest should fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can women wear unisex body armor?
Yes, as long as it fits well. The armor should sit close to your body, cover your chest and back, and let you sit and move comfortably. Check the size chart, and contact us if you're between sizes.
Is bulletproof clothing legal for women to buy?
Yes. Federal law allows most adult civilians to buy and own body armor. Some states limit how it can be bought or worn. See Is bulletproof clothing legal? We can't ship to New York or Connecticut.

It's designed to stop common handgun rounds, including 9mm, .357 and .44 Magnum. It isn't rated for rifle rounds. Learn more in What Level Body Armor Stops 9mm?
