BUILT FOR DUTY
The Uniform Vest That Looks the Part
Primer is the uniform police bulletproof vest for officers who need to look polished while staying protected. Designed around real duty workflow — badge grommets, shoulder mounts, deep pockets — it carries your kit cleanly and wears like a professional uniform top in Black or police Blue, all over NIJ.06 Level IIIA armor that you can up-armor with rifle plates when the threat calls for it.
SCALABLE PROTECTION
From Uniform Duty to Rifle Threats — One Vest
Wear Primer as a clean Level IIIA uniform vest for everyday duty, then drop in 10×12" hard armor plates front and back to step up to rifle-rated protection in seconds. One platform that scales with the threat — routine patrol, courthouse detail, or active-shooter response — so you buy one vest instead of three.

HIGHLIGTHED FEATURES
[01]
Multi-Threat Ballistic Defense
Independently lab-tested to NIJ.06 Level IIIA — stops 9mm, .40 S&W, .357 Magnum, .357 Sig, .45 GAP, and .44 Magnum. The handgun threats uniformed officers face on duty, stopped cold. Choose from three armor panels: PE-X or Flexcore for Level IIIA ballistic protection, or Anti-Stab for Level IIIA ballistic protection plus multi-threat stab and edged-blade resistance.
[02]
STANAG 2920 Fragment Protection
Engineered to defeat high-velocity fragments — verified resistance against 17-grain fragments exceeding 2,100 ft/s, a benchmark for ballistic and fragmentation defense in police body armor.
[03]
A Sharp, Professional Look On Duty
Primer is built for officers who represent their department in public. Five uniform buttons, a hidden full-length zipper, and a clean carrier in Black or police Blue give it the look of a pressed uniform shirt — not visible body armor — while NIJ.06 Level IIIA protection sits underneath. Look professional, stay protected.
[04]
Your Gear, Right Where You Reach For It
Deep side-entry pockets stow ID cards, traffic templates, handcuffs, pens, and duty gloves. Built-in metal grommets take pin-on clasp-back badges, and both shoulders carry attach points for a radio mic, body cam, or clip-on LED light. Space-mesh interior keeps you cool with antimicrobial protection across a full shift.
