Safariland is a respected global provider of high-quality safety products and shooting gear for the professional and civilian shooter markets. New for SHOT 2024 is a concealable body armor system made to redefine the standards of protection. The Apex Covert Vest System creates a new benchmark in personal safety and offers superior mobility and comfort.

The Apex features a revolutionary four-piece vest design featuring two side panels with front and rear pieces. This allows for fantastic maneuverability and increases comfort. This four-piece configuration is unique and facilitates articulation so the armor panels can move as needed with the wearer’s body. It also means the vest can provide coverage even as the person’s body twists and turns.

James Duncan, Vice President & General Manager of Armor for Safariland, said:

The development of Apex is rooted in recognizing the parallel between advanced athletic mobility and the dynamic demands of law enforcement officers. Apex addresses the critical need for enhanced mobility and comfort in the line of duty. It’s more than just a piece of equipment; it’s a testament to our commitment to officer performance and well-being.

Features of the Safariland Apex Covert Vest include:

  • Four-piece floating design for greater comfort and overall performance
  • Core Compression System made to carry the weight of the ballistics around the body’s core
  • Extended tuckable garment for enhanced concealment
  • Front zip for easy on and off
  • Integrated front and rear trauma plate pockets
  • Internal soft armor suspension system

The Safariland Apex stands out from similar vests thanks to its floating front and back panels. This design delivers top performance with continuous protection and effortlessly adjusts to the body’s movement.
