Why Razor XT

The armor built for officers
who actually wear it

Most officers don’t skip armor because of the threat level. They skip it because it’s too thick, too heavy, or too uncomfortable to wear a full shift.

Razor XT removes that excuse. At 0.153 inches thin and 0.593 lbs/ft² for Level II — and just 0.20 inches and 0.84 lbs/ft² for IIIA — it’s the thinnest, lightest armor Armor Express produces. The ballistic package combines Twaron® Flex Woven Aramid and Dyneema® UHMWPE in a gender-neutral panel certified to NIJ 0101.06 in sizes C1–C5.

Every system ships complete with an Armor Express concealable carrier sized to your Bravo measurements — ready to wear out of the box.

Thinnest panel in the lineup

Level II at 0.153″ — thinner than any other Armor Express soft armor. Officers actually wear it because they don’t feel it.

Complete system, ready to wear

Includes custom-cut ballistic panels and a concealable carrier. Panels are manufactured to your Bravo sizing measurements — no guessing on fit.

Multi-platform compatible

One set of panels works across concealable, outer, tactical, plate carrier, and K-9 platforms. Additional carriers sold separately.

Gender-neutral for agency deployment

Single SKU fits your entire department. No separate male/female inventory to manage.

Threat Testing

Common Questions

Frequently asked

Have a question not answered here? Contact our armor specialists — we work with individual officers and department procurement teams.

Talk to a Specialist

Does the system include a carrier? +

Yes — every Razor XT system ships with custom-cut ballistic panels and one Armor Express concealable carrier. Panels are sized to your Bravo measurements submitted at checkout. Additional carriers for other duty configurations are available separately — your panels work across all of them.

What is Bravo sizing? +

Bravo sizing is the current Armor Express standard for concealable soft armor. It uses your precise body measurements — height, chest, girth, torso length — to manufacture panels to specification. This produces a better fit and more consistent all-day comfort than alpha (S/M/L) sizing.

What’s the difference between Level II and IIIA? +

Level II stops 9mm FMJ and .357 Magnum at 0.153″ thin and 0.593 lbs/ft². Level IIIA adds .44 Magnum and higher-velocity handgun threats at 0.20″ and 0.84 lbs/ft². Both are concealable. Choose based on the threat profile in your jurisdiction.

What platforms is Razor XT compatible with? +

Razor XT panels are compatible with concealable carriers, outer carriers, tactical vests, plate carrier systems, and K-9 armor platforms. One set of panels covers every duty configuration — additional carriers are purchased separately.

Is Razor XT gender-neutral? +

Yes. Razor XT panels are gender-neutral, certified in sizes C1–C5. Bravo sizing ensures a proper fit for any body type without requiring separate male and female SKUs — simplifying agency procurement and inventory management.

Concealable Armor Sizing Guide

Soft Armor Panel Architecture Options

Because all premium soft armor panels are cut strictly to order, choosing the correct panel structure is vital for your safety, mobility, and comfort. Consequently, we provide three distinct engineering layouts to match your physical build and operational requirements:

1. Gender-Neutral / Male Cut: This style uses a standard flat ballistic plane optimized for male and neutral body types. It delivers full, flush coverage across the torso without unnecessary bulk.
2. Structured Female Cut: This style incorporates engineered, built-in bust cups designed to naturally follow anatomical curves. Therefore, it prevents dangerous panel flattening and eliminates gaps at the armpits during dynamic movement.
3. Unstructured Female Cut: This configuration utilizes a flat ballistic plane layout. However, we alter the perimeter pattern dimensions specifically to accommodate shorter female torso lengths and narrower shoulder frames. This option is highly recommended for female operators who prefer a flat fit or place their panels inside external duty carriers.

Please ensure your selected panel layout matches your physical measurements before completing your order. If you need assistance selecting the proper configuration for your duty assignment, please contact our team directly before checkout.

Male Concealable Armor Sizing Guide:

These instructions serve as a direct supplement to our formal Male / Gender-Neutral Custom Sizing Form. To ensure a flawless, secure fit, you must be precise while recording all requested measurements on that document. Consequently, please follow these tactical preparation rules carefully before pulling your measuring tape.

Operational Setup Rules

First, the officer must wear their full on-duty gear, including their standard uniform shirt, undergarments, and duty belt during the entire fitting process.
Meanwhile, the officer must stand and sit normally without sucking in their stomach or artificially altering their posture.
Therefore, a separate partner should always conduct the physical tracking, as you must never attempt to measure yourself.
Finally, utilize a soft vinyl or cloth tape measure to ensure precise tracking against body contours.

Alpha Sizing Baseline

If your custom sizing measurements do not align exactly with the baseline chart below, round your final custom calculations up to the next chart value to determine the appropriate Alpha size.

Alpha Size	Chest Range	Waist Range	Panel Width	Panel Length
SM	33" - 36"	28" - 30"	18	13
MD	37" - 40"	32" - 34"	20	14
LG	41" - 44"	36" - 38"	22	15
XL	46" - 48"	40" - 42"	24	16
2XL	50" - 52"	44" - 46"	26	17
3XL	54" - 56"	48" - 50"	28	18
4XL	58" - 60"	52"- 54"	30	19

Custom Measurement Steps

A: TORSO WIDTH (Standing)

Locate the officer’s belly button to clear your alignment baseline. Utilizing that specific reference point, accurately measure around the absolute widest part of the abdomen. Round this tracking up to the nearest whole inch and record the value.

B: BACK LENGTH (Standing)

Identify the most prominent cervical vertebra located at the baseline of the neck. Next, measure vertically straight down the spine to the top edge of the duty belt. Round this length calculation down to the nearest whole inch and record the result.

C: CENTER FRONT (Seated)

Have the officer sit normally inside an armless chair. Locate the top center of the jugular notch where the collarbones meet. Track vertically down the center of the torso directly to the top edge of the duty belt. Round this measurement down to the nearest whole inch and record.

D: OVERLAP / SIDE PROTECTION VALUE

Your choice of carrier style directly determines your required tactical overlap coverage. Therefore, follow the designated rules below to record value D. Note: If you plan to deploy your ballistic panels inside BOTH concealable and external carrier systems, always record the larger External / Outer value.

Concealable Carriers Only: Record exactly 3″ for Step D.

External / Outer Carriers: Record exactly 5″ for Step D.

Final Panel Calculation Formula

Calculate Value E by adding your Torso Width (A) directly to your Overlap Value (D):
A + D = E Inches

FRONT WIDTH:	Calculate E ÷ 2 (Round up to nearest inch)
FRONT LENGTH:	Use Center Front Value (C)
BACK WIDTH:	Calculate E ÷ 2 (Round up to nearest inch)
BACK LENGTH:	Use Back Length Value (B)

Important Discrepancy Rules: Front Width cannot differ from Back Width by more than 3″. Concurrently, Front Length cannot differ from Back Length by more than 1″.

Female Concealable Armor Sizing Guide:

These instructions serve as a direct supplement to our formal Female Concealable Sizing Form. To ensure a flawless, secure fit, you must be precise while recording all requested measurements on that document. Consequently, please follow these tactical preparation rules carefully before pulling your measuring tape.
