Technical Engineering of Quantum Ballistic Body Armor

Armor Express built this configuration on the Neutral Fit architecture to provide maximum coverage and mobility for a standard patrol profile.

Advanced Core: We utilize high-performance 100% Twaron Fiber (Level II) or a high-durability Twaron Flex Woven Aramid/Laminate hybrid (Level IIIA).
Environmental Shield: A seam-sealed, waterproof Ripstop Nylon pad cover encases all panels to prevent degradation from moisture, salt, and perspiration.
Reliable Construction: Furthermore, the robust design ensures peace of mind during daily duty and tactical transitions.

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.

Sizing & Ordering Information

The Quantum utilizes the Armor Express Bravo Cut architecture. To ensure a proper fit, you must follow the Bravo Alpha sizing standard.

IMPORTANT: Even Width Sizing Armor Express now manufactures all Bravo carriers and ballistics in even widths only. If you are replacing an older “Legacy” vest with odd-width panels, you must size up to the next even width.

Quantum Ballistic Body Armor FAQ

What is the difference between Level II and Level IIIA Quantum Ballistic Body Armor?

The Level II Quantum Ballistic Body Armor is designed to be thinner (0.240″) and lighter (1.02 lbs/ft2), optimized for comfort against standard handgun threats like 9mm and .357 Mag. The Level IIIA version is slightly thicker (0.250″) and heavier (1.26 lbs/ft2) but provides increased protection against high-velocity rounds like .357 SIG and .44 Magnum, and is fully DEA Protocol compliant

Does this Quantum Ballistic Body Armor come with a carrier?

Yes. Every Quantum Ballistic Body Armor set purchased through Armor Exchange includes one Revolution Concealable Carrier. This carrier now comes standard with both front and rear plate pockets, allowing you to up-armor with trauma plates or rifle inserts as needed.

Is the Quantum Ballistic Body Armor “Special Threat” tested?

Absolutely. Beyond the standard NIJ 0101.06
requirements, the Quantum Ballistic Body Armor is lab-tested in the Armor Express Ballistic Research Laboratory (BRL) to defeat specialized rounds, including the 5.7 x 28mm 40gr FNH SS197SR V-MAX

Can I use the Revolution Carrier with other ballistic panels?

The Revolution Carrier included with this system is designed for the Bravo Cut architecture. It is universally compatible with other Armor Express Bravo Cut panels, such as the Gemini dual-threat or Vortex systems

How do I ensure the correct fit for my Quantum Ballistic Body Armor?

You can select from our Alpha Sizing Chart (ranging from XSM to 4XL) or choose Custom Sizing. For the most accurate fit, we recommend providing your height, chest, and girth measurements, along with your preferred side overlap (e.g., 1″ overlap or “butt fit”)

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″.
