Quantum Ballistic Body Armor — Female Fitted

Quantum Ballistic Body Armor provides a specialized anatomical solution for female officers, delivering a perfect balance of NIJ 0101.06 certified protection and precision engineering. Armor Express designed this system on a Female Fitted chassis, which utilizes narrower chest dimensions and a tapered waist to ensure proper panel indexing. Consequently, this prevents the shifting and discomfort common in neutral-cut vests.

Every set includes the Revolution Female Fitted Carrier, which now features standard front and rear plate pockets for versatile up-armor capability.

Defining Your Fit: Structured vs. Unstructured

When selecting your Quantum Ballistic Body Armor, you can choose between two distinct ballistic panel constructions. Both options provide full NIJ certification but offer different feel and profiles.

  • Structured (Anatomical Cups): This option features a permanent, heat-formed anatomical cup built directly into the ballistic material. Therefore, it provides dedicated space for the bust without compressing the chest. It is the ideal choice for officers seeking maximum comfort and a precision anatomical fit.
  • Unstructured (Flex-Wrap): This model utilizes a flat ballistic panel designed with high-flex materials that “wrap” around the torso. While it lacks a pre-formed cup, it offers a lower profile under certain uniform shirts. Many officers prefer this for its versatile, “soft-wrap” feel during high-mobility shifts.

Technical Engineering of Quantum Ballistic Body Armor

  • Advanced Core: The system features high-performance 100% Twaron Fiber, selected for its superior flexibility and high strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Environmental Shield: A seam-sealed, waterproof Ripstop Nylon pad cover encases all ballistic panels to protect the integrity of the armor from moisture and salt.
  • Reliable Construction: Furthermore, the robust design ensures peace of mind during daily duty and tactical transitions.

Revolution Female Fitted Carrier (Included)

Every Quantum Ballistic Body Armor purchase includes one Revolution carrier specifically patterned for the female form.

  • Standard Pockets: This carrier now includes both Front and Rear plate pockets, which allows you to add trauma plates or small-format rifle inserts.
  • Suspension System: A patented interior suspension system prevents ballistic panels from sagging, so they stay correctly indexed to your vitals.
  • Moisture Control: Meanwhile, the moisture-wicking, anti-microbial inner lining manages heat during extended duty.

Quantum Ballistic Body Armor FAQ

How does the female Quantum Ballistic Body Armor differ from the neutral version?

The female Quantum Ballistic Body Armor features an integrated cup structure and narrower chest dimensions. Because it is anatomically engineered, it eliminates the “bunching” and gap issues associated with unisex vests.

What is the weight of the Level IIIA Quantum Ballistic Body Armor for women?

The Level IIIA female panels are exceptionally lightweight, featuring an areal density of just 1.32 lbs/ft². Consequently, this provides a high level of protection without the fatigue caused by heavier systems.

Does the Revolution Carrier for the Quantum Ballistic Body Armor include front and rear plate pockets?

Yes. Every Quantum Ballistic Body Armor set now comes standard with the Revolution carrier featuring both front and rear plate pockets. This allows you to up-armor against specialized threats quickly.

Is this armor tested against 5.7 x 28mm rounds?

Absolutely. Armor Express tests the Quantum Ballistic Body Armor in-house to defeat the 40gr FNH SS197SR V-MAX round. Therefore, you can have confidence in your protection against modern street threats.

Can I choose between a structured and unstructured fit?

Yes. When ordering your Quantum Ballistic Body Armor, you can specify a structured fit with integrated cups or an unstructured fit based on your body type and comfort preference.

FAQ for Structured vs. Unstructured

Should I choose Structured or Unstructured Quantum Ballistic Body Armor?

The choice depends on your preference for chest compression. Structured armor uses heat-formed cups to provide an anatomical “pocket,” whereas Unstructured armor uses a flat, flexible design that wraps around the body.

Does the Unstructured version provide the same protection as the Structured?

Yes. Both versions of the Quantum Ballistic Body Armor are NIJ 0101.06 certified and pass the same rigorous special threat testing. The only difference is the physical shape and molding of the ballistic panels.

Is the Revolution carrier different for the Structured panels?

No. The Female Fitted Revolution Carrier is engineered to accommodate both panel types. Because the carrier uses a narrower chest dimension and a flared hip, it supports the anatomical shape of both Structured and Unstructured ballistics perfectly.

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.

Custom Measurement Steps

Torso Width Measurement Diagram

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.

Back Length Diagram

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.

Center Front Diagram

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 Overlap Diagram

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

External Overlap Diagram

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″.

Custom Measurement Steps

Female Armor Measurement Steps Overview

Chest Measurement Diagram

A: CHEST / BUST MEASUREMENT (Standing)

Measure the fullest part of the chest by wrapping the soft tape directly under the arms, smoothly across the bust line, and straight around the shoulder blades. Round this number up to the nearest whole inch.

Layout Rule: If choosing a Structured Female layout, measure naturally over the apex of the bust line. If choosing an Unstructured Female layout, ensure the tape lays flat across the chest tissue without compressed distortion.

Torso Girth Diagram

B: TORSO GIRTH (Standing)

Wrap the tape horizontally around the officer’s waist at the widest part of the abdomen, using the center of the navel as your primary baseline reference. Round this tracking up to the nearest whole inch.

Back Length Diagram

C: BACK LENGTH MEASUREMENT (Standing)

Track vertically from the most prominent cervical bone located at the base of the neck straight down to the top edge of the duty belt. Round this total back length metric down to the nearest whole inch.

Seated Suprasternal Notch Diagram

D: SEATED SUPRASTERNAL NOTCH TO DUTY BELT (Seated)

Have the officer sit comfortably inside an armless chair. Next, place your straight ruler horizontally across the apex of the bust line. Measure vertically from the bottom edge of the suprasternal notch down to the top of the duty belt, routing over the ruler alignment. Round down to the nearest whole inch.

Standing Suprasternal Notch Diagram

E: STANDING SUPRASTERNAL NOTCH TO DUTY BELT (Standing)

While the officer stands normally, position the straight ruler horizontally straight across the bust line. Track vertically from the bottom of the suprasternal notch down to the top edge of the duty belt, and round down to the nearest whole inch. We utilize this specific measurement as an essential reference point to calculate proper armor coverage transitions between sitting and standing profiles.
