Ballistic Base Layer Compression Vest
Product Description:
The Gabriel Ballistic Base Layer, created by one of BulletBlocker's finest engineers, is the most concealable piece of body armor on today’s market with a NIJ IIIA rating offering its wearer unprecedented comfort. Whether an undercover task-force member, a silent operator, or a private citizen needing an ultra-concealable piece of body armor, the Gabriel BBL gives you the tactical advantage you need and the ultimate comfort you deserve. Ergonomically designed to provide complete uninhibited mobility when used in close quarter tactics. Each Gabriel BBL is custom built and its sleek design leaves a nearly invisible footprint under most garments.
**Additional Option: Full Wrap
Full Wrap featuring side coverage is available to provide additional ballistic protection. When Full Wrap is added to clothing, the front and back panels overlap on each side providing an added tactical advantage (please see image above). Keep in mind that the additional ballistic material used for Full Wrap may lessen concealability slightly. Full Wrap is available for an additional $170.00.
