Zip Front Overt Ballistic Vests

Overt Ballistic Vests, also sometimes known as "Overt Bullet Proof Vests," are worn over the clothing, as opposed to Covert Ballistic Vests which are worn under the clothing. Pictured is our stock Zip Front Overt Ballistic Vest, which is certified by the Home Office to Bullet Resistance HG1A, and also includes Knife Resistant KR1 and Spike Resistance SP1, as well as syringe and blunt trauma resistance - all in a single vest. This is our of our most popular Ballistic Vests. We can also supply overt ballistic vests to HG2 and NIJIIIA levels, as well as hard armour and additional trauma plates.

Our stock zip front overt ballistic vest includes radio loops, epaulettes and 2 lower pockets, and is made from hard wearing cordura fabric. It is suitable for all day use, and because it has a zip front it is also easy to put on and take off if protection is needed only intermittently. We also stock Hi Vis Yellow Zip-Front Overt Ballistic Vests. We can add badging or logos to your vests, as well as hi vis tape if required. For further information on this product, please request our brochure or call our Body Armour Department.

We can also supply specially made overt ballistic vests, in a wide range of colours, styles and fabrics, including waterproof, breathable, high abrasion resistant, flame retardant and blood borne pathogen resistant, and the options also include infra-red disruptive materials and camouflage options. As with our Covert Ballistic Vests, there are a range of sweat management materials, which work to alleviate discomfort caused by perspiration. Our main Ballistic Vests / "Bullet Proof Vests" page gives examples of the numerous styles of overt bullet resistant vests that are available, and if you don't see the exact style you're looking for we can provide free CAD drawings of your design - please call us to discuss your requirements in more detail, or request our brochure as a starting point.
